SpaceX's website confirms my earlier report last week that B1060-14 will support the launch of the pair of Galaxy 33 and 34 satellites.

https://www.spacex.com/launches/intelsatg33g34/

Quote
SpaceX is targeting Thursday, October 6 for launch of the Intelsat G-33/G-34 mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The 67-minute launch window opens at 7:07 p.m. ET (23:07 UTC). A backup launch opportunity is available on Friday, October 7, and the 69-minute launch window opens at 7:06 p.m. ET (23:06 UTC).

The Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched GPS III-3, Turksat 5A, Transporter-2, and 10 Starlink missions. After stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

SpaceX confirms it will go for its third launch in 37 hours today with the Intelsat G-33/G-34 mission. Commercial mission is on first stage previously flown 13 times. I believe this is a record for most rapid succession of three launches in a single rocket family.

Dual satellite launch for Intelsat next on SpaceX’s launch schedule

October 6, 2022 Stephen Clark
...
The satellites, named Galaxy 33 and Galaxy 34, were built by Northrop Grumman on the company’s GEOStar spacecraft design. The two spacecraft — which Intelsat says total about 7.3 metric tons, or more than 16,000 pounds — are stacked one on top of the other inside the Falcon 9 rocket’s payload shroud.

Falcon 9 B1060 will make its 14th flight on a dedicated mission for Intelsat tonight, the first time such a launch will use a booster beyond its 10th flight.

Jean-Luc Froeliger, Intelsat space systems VP, is "very confident" in using a SpaceX fleet-leading booster.

"It’s the same price if you’re the first or the 14th. You pay extra when it’s expendable."

He said Intelsat's next launch in November will use an expendable F9 booster.

So flight proven boosters not yet more expensive than new boosters ;)
