The Eagles will open the 2016 season in Ireland on Sept. 3 against Georgia Tech
One hundred days from today, the Boston College football team will kick off the 2016 season at the Aer Lingus College Football Classic.
Â
Facing off against ACC foe Georgia Tech on Saturday, Sept. 3, the teams will play the very first college football game of the 2016 season. Kickoff is set for 7:30 a.m. ET (12:30 p.m. IT) at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, and ESPN2 will broadcast the game live.
Â
This will be the Eagles' second game in program history played in Ireland, following their immensely popular Nov. 19,1988 visit when they defeated Army 38-24 at Lansdowne Road Stadium. Aviva Stadium was built on the former site of Lansdown Road Stadium.
Â
Limited tickets are still available to U.S. fans, as well as travel and hospitality packages – including golf, tourist and cultural excursions. More information is available at collegefootballireland.com. Flights and hotels rooms can also be booked through the game's official website.

Aer Lingus recently added almost 1,000 additional seats on flights between Boston and Dublin on Sept. 1 and Sept. 5 to accommodate BC fans headed to the game over Labor Day weekend.
