Delta Air Lines has announced the addition of over 40 new flights for the 2025 college football season, aiming to enhance travel options for fans.

According to Delta News Hub, the airline is launching its most extensive college football flight schedule to date. These additional flights will provide over 8,000 seats and are strategically timed for weekends around major games. The new services will connect fans to 25 cities, including South Bend, Austin, Columbus, Knoxville, and Gainesville, ensuring direct access to key matchups.

As reported by Upgraded Points, Delta's expanded schedule supports some of the 2025 season's most anticipated matchups such as LSU at Clemson and Texas at Ohio State on August 30. Amy Martin, Delta's Vice President of North America Network Planning, says the goal is to ensure fans never miss a crucial game moment by providing easier travel options. The flights will be operated using a mix of mainline and regional Delta Connection aircraft.
