ATHENS, Ga. – The No. 2 LSU Gymnastics team (2-0-1) continues its road stretch to begin the 2026 season, traveling to Athens for a top 10 SEC showdown against No. 8 Georgia (1-0) on Friday, January 16 at 6 p.m. CT inside Stegeman Coliseum.
The meet will air live on SEC Network with Bart Conner (PxP) and Trinity Thomas (Analyst) calling the action.
The Tigers enter this week ranked No. 2 in the nation following a program-record score at the Sprouts Collegiate Quad last Saturday in Utah, where LSU posted its highest road opener score in program history (197.500). LSU finished the night tied atop the standings with Oklahoma, who won on a tiebreaker, setting the tone early for another strong campaign.
No. 8 Georgia is coming off a 197.000 win over No. 21 Ohio State in their season opener on Saturday, Jan. 10. It was only the second time in program history and first since 2007 that the team posted a 197.000 or better in a season opener.
Friday’s meet serves as LSU’s first SEC meet of the year. LSU is 46-71-2 all-time against Georgia and 8-22-0 when facing them on the road. The last time LSU fell to Georgia in a regular season dual meet came in the 2016 season. The Tigers have won their last four contests in Athens.
