ESPN’s most popular pregame show, College Gameday, has made stops all across the country. From reoccuring stops such as Columbus and Tuscaloosa to more unusual college football locations such as Times Square in New York City, College Gameday has been to 34 different states.
In 2020, the pregame show will leave the United States for the first time ever. ESPN announced on College Gameday Saturday morning that the show will head to Dublin, Ireland next August.
ESPN also mailed out an official statement that the pregame show will be taking a trip across the Atlantic Ocean.

College Gameday will be in Ireland for the Notre Dame-Navy matchup, which will take place on Saturday, Aug. 29 — the first weekend of the season.
It will be interesting to see how ESPN handles the scheduling of the show because of the time difference, but the Chicago Tribune speculated that the game will kick off at 7 pm local time (or 2 pm ET). That means the show will probably go on at its normal time on the east coast, but it will just be later in the day at in Ireland.
