College football has a long-standing connection to the American presidency. This link can be attributed to President Theodore Roosevelt, who once expressed his expectations for good citizenship using a football analogy. Several presidents have played on varsity college teams, with Gerald Ford being a notable example, having played for the Michigan Wolverines.

President Donald Trump is set to attend his third Georgia-Alabama game, continuing a tradition of presidential attendance at high-profile games. Further details about this event and the history of presidential involvement in college football are available.

The tradition of presidents attending games has been ongoing for nearly a century, with Trump's upcoming attendance being the latest example.
