Last week the college football season unofficially began with a slate of four games headlined by Georgia Tech's upset of Florida State in Dublin, where the College GameDay crew welcomed the audience for the first time this season. The crew will now go stateside for Week 1 as the 2024 CFB season really gets underway with a full slate of contests to take place across the country on August 31.

It's going to be a great Saturday. Where will the GameDay crew be to oversee it all?

Where is College GameDay this week?

This Saturday, College GameDay will be held in College Station, Texas, home of the Aggies. The crew— headlined by Kirk Herbstreit, Pat McAfee, Desmond Howard, and Nick Saban— will preside over No. 20 Texas A&M facing off against No. 7 Notre Dame.

It will mark GameDay's 10th appearance in College Station. The last time the ESPN crew visited the Aggies was in 2021, when Kellen Mond and Co. took on Ole Miss.

Interestingly, Texas A&M has a 1-8 record with College GameDay on campus heading into Saturday's affair.
