The 2024 ACC football schedule was released on Wednesday evening, and it kicks off in Week Zero with Florida State and Georgia Tech squaring off in Dublin, Ireland.
The 2024 season will be the first for the ACC as a 17-team conference following the addition of the California Golden Bears, SMU Mustangs, and Stanford Cardinal. Each ACC team will continue to play an eight-game conference schedule and four non-conference opponents.
The majority of the ACC will begin their seasons in Week 1 between Thursday, Aug. 29 and Monday, Sept. 2. The regular-season will conclude with the ACC Championship Game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024.

* ACC contest.
Good to see a conference that understands the difference between an open date and a bye.
Cal and Stanford found a true academic match in the ACC!
114% agreeable Jesper.
I believe It’s possible they are listed as OPEN because an extra 13th game is permissible for all FBS teams this year, that is if one is desired.
Not sure which team you are referring to, but only Hawaii and FBS teams that play at Hawaii can play 13 games.
To your point, Kevin, playing in Ireland hasn’t created the flexibility for a 13th game.
But maybe we can light votive candles, pray for the resuscitation of the Kickoff and Disneyland Pigskin Classics and see all those OPENs get filled!
Kevin, I believe Kim is right; with the 14-wk calendar, the NCAA gives each D1 team the option of scheduling an extra game in this and similar years. (For FCS, that means 12 g, FBS 13 g.)
That’s not true. Only FCS games get to add an extra game. FBS teams just get an extra bye week.
Before the 12th game was added in 2006, yes, a 14-week schedule would allow for an extra (12th) game for all teams. But now that 12 games is allowed every year there is no extra game allowed for a 14-week schedule.
….and, don’t be surprised if there is a five way tie for first, with 7-1 records, and have to go to the 11th tie breaker. The CAA last year had that.
Every few years the calendar breaks so that an additional open date happens. I believe this is true for next year too and then back to 1 open date for a while. Week Zero does alter available open dates in each scenario.
SMU has only 11 games?
SMU is still working on a 12th game after Vanderbilt canceled last month.
I saw that the Cal/Oregon State game was moved from Sep 28 to Oct 26, presumably because Cal would rather have their byes spread out rather than in back-to-back weeks.
My #1 Notre Dame night game would be Florida State Week 11 & then have NBC do Big Ten game on kickoff Friday Night.
I would not mind Notre Dame get another FCS opponent in 2024 my dream someday is Fighting Irish play Villanova Wildcats overall I am 114% flexible who they play.
Interesting that FSU’s last THREE games are out-of-conference.
I can’t recall seeing that configuration from anybody else’s schedule …. well, ever.
When did the SMU/Vanderbilt game get canceled? And who can SMU schedule now that almost every team in Division I (FBS/FCS) has their scheduled teams pretty much set already?
Don’t know exactly when it was canceled, but it was first learned when the SEC announced its 2024 schedule in December. Here is our openings tracker:
https://fbschedules.com/fbs-college-football-teams-with-non-conference-openings-in-2024/
I would add UNC-Wake and Miami’s games against the Northeast teams to the protected game list so that these games can be played on Thanksgiving weekend:
Virginia-Virginia Tech
4 ACC-SEC rivalries
Tobacco Road rotation
Boston College or Pittsburgh at Syracuse or Miami (played earlier in the year when at BC or Pitt)
Even years only:
UCLA at California
Stanford at SMU
Odd years only:
Notre Dame at Stanford
California at SMU
(Last four games are played earlier in the season when at the opposite locations).
Should Notre Dame play at Stanford it does not have necessarily have to be in odd number years in can be even too plus I like to see Notre Dame play at various ACC away games in even number years during Thanksgiving weekend & as Syracuse Fan i will be happy if they play NC State,Virginia or Florida State on Thanksgiving Weekend.
My #1 Notre Dame home night game for 2024 will be Florida State & it have nothing to do with November & it that Florida State is a attracting team & my suggestion is that NBC do Big Ten game on Friday Night Washington at Penn State is a excellent candidate.
I’d be curious to know if any other “Power 4” team (Current Power 5 teams) has been scheduled to play three straight conference road games like SMU was scheduled for next year? Seems a bit unfair for them to go over a month without a home game…
