Vols to open 2025 football season with three afternoon contests | Chattanooga Times Free Press
Tennessee will kick off the 2025 football season with three afternoon contests, marking a notable change from the previous year. In 2024, the Vols set a program record by playing nine night games, a feat that may be hard to replicate this year. The shift to afternoon games raises questions about how it will impact team dynamics and fan engagement. Analysts suggest that the team must adapt to this new schedule to maintain its competitive edge. Historically, afternoon games can influence attendance and performance due to varying fan energy levels.
As the Vols prepare for the season, the focus will be on how they can leverage this schedule change to their advantage.
