Get your Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game tickets to enjoy some college football on Labor Day weekend! The Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game is a yearly college football event with one or more opening weekend NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision games played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The event is put on by the organizers of the Peach Bowl and quickly became a Labor Day college football tradition after the inaugural game in 2008. The inaugural matchup saw the Alabama Crimson Tide defeat the Clemson Tigers, setting a precedent for future matchups to feature at least one nationally-ranked team. Previous winners of the kickoff games include the LSU Tigers, Boise State Broncos, and Auburn Tigers.
The event typically features one game but has expanded to two doubleheader games over the weekend several times in previous years. The games most often feature SEC and ACC competition, but teams from other conferences such as the Mountain West, Big 12, and Pac-12 have been selected to play in the event on occasion. SEC teams have been dominant in the games, having an unmatched win percentage when compared to teams from other conferences.
