The Florida football program will not be broadcasting this year's Orange and Blue game on television, according to a report from Swamp247, keeping in line with a current trend among Southeastern Conference schools amid questions all across the nation surrounding the future of both spring exhibitions and practices.
There are major concerns that the coverage could encourage transfer portal tampering from outside of the team — an issue cited by coaches and corroborated by scouting reports. So far, the only SEC school to announce a television broadcast for its spring game is the Texas A&M Aggies, who play their scrimmage on Saturday, April 19.

The university will honor the 2024-25 national champion men's basketball team during an extended 30-minute halftime event at approximately 2 p.m. ET.
