The Georgia Bulldogs were back-to-back National Champions. The dynasty talks rose and Kirby Smart was rewarded handsomely with a contract extension.
They were winners of every regular season game in 2023 and every game in 2022, the question has been raised: When was the last time Georgia lost a football game in different scenarios?
When Was the Last Time Georgia Lost a Game?
Now, fresh off the heels of a poor showing against Ole Miss during Week 11 of the 2024 season, the last time the Georgia Bulldogs lost a game was November 9, 2024. Prior to that, their last loss was at the hands of the Alabama Crimson Tide in Week 5 of the 2024 season.
To understand greatness at the college football level, one must understand weakness. It’s clear that Smart has learned from his previous mistakes at the helm of the Dawgs, and they’ve made amends at every turn. As such, losses haven’t come very frequently in Smart’s tenure in Athens.
They’re sharp on the recruiting trail, quick to adjust midgame and run an all-around professional-type program.

And you guessed it, the last time they lost prior to the 2023 SEC Championship Game was once again to Alabama, but in the 2021 SEC Championship Game.
Before their Week 5 loss to Alabama in 2024, the Bulldogs had lost their last two postseason appearances against the Crimson Tide.
Famously, though, the Bulldogs still made the College Football Playoff in 2021 as the No. 3 seed, easily dispatching No. 2 Michigan, and exacted their revenge on the Crimson Tide by winning the National Championship.
When Was the Last Time Georgia Lost a Regular Season Game?
As it was stated, the last two times Georgia had lost to Alabama were in postseason play. But as of their Week 5 defeat to the Crimson Tide, the last time the Bulldogs have lost a regular season game is also November 9, 2024, to Ole Miss.
To find their last regular season loss prior to the 2024 regular season losses, you have to go back a bit further. In fact, you have to go back to 2020 to find the last time Georgia lost a regular season game prior to their defeat against Alabama.

The Bulldogs last lost a regular season game in 2020 to Florida, meaning they’ve only lost two regular season games in the past five seasons combined.
UGA’s previous last regular season loss was in 2020 when then-No. 8 ranked Florida knocked off the Bulldogs, 44-28, in Jacksonville during their annual Georgia-Florida Rivalry Game.
When was the Last Time Georgia Lost a Game at Home?
With their last regular season losses coming from Tuscaloosa and also against Florida, a neutral site game, as well as their other losses in this same span happening in postseason play, you have to go back even further to find the last time Georgia lost a game at home.
To find the last time that the Bulldogs lost a game at Sanford Stadium, you have to turn the page back to 2019 when an unranked South Carolina team lost a Jake Fromm-led Georgia team in double overtime, 20-17.
Georgia’s previous home loss had come back in 2016 when they lost a shocker to Vanderbilt.
When was the Last Time Georgia Lost A Non-Conference Game?
It should be stated, all of the aforementioned Georgia losses came in SEC play. The last time the Bulldogs lost a non-conference game came back on January 1, 2019, when they lost the Sugar Bowl to then Big 12 foe Texas.
Prior to that, the last time that Georgia lost a non-conference regular season game was against arch rival Georgia Tech. This came during the 2016 season annual meeting of Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate, when the Yellow Jackets knocked off Georgia, 28-27, in a classic.
