How to Watch Florida Football with Sling
With a new coach and QB, the new-look Gators are hoping to take a bite out of the SEC. Here is how you can watch Florida’s 2026 football season on Sling.
Under new head coach Jon Sumrall, the Florida Gators enter the 2026 college football season in full reset mode. Hired after Billy Napier's firing during last year’s 4-8 campaign, Sumrall utilized the transfer portal heavily, adding 30 new players to reconstruct the roster. The offense is led by Georgia Tech transfer quarterback Aaron Philo, who is competing for the starting role under new offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner. Philo gets to play alongside elite running back Jadan Baugh, who is anchored by a massive 1.3 million dollar NIL deal. Rebuilding three departed offensive line starters is a major priority, aided by Penn State transfer TJ Shanahan Jr.. With daunting schedule tests against Georgia in Atlanta, Texas, and rival Florida State, Florida still hopes to reclaim SEC prominence.
