The 2024 college football season is still almost eight months away, but the ACC football schedules are starting to fall into place. This week the conference will announce the dates for all schools conference games and Monday, the conference began the slow release of schedules with the Week 0 and Week 1 schedules.

This year, there will be an ACC matchup in Week 0 when Florida State plays Georgia Tech on Aug. 24 in Dublin, Ireland. ESPN College Gameday will be on-site and it will be the first time ever that the pregame show will be broadcast outside of the United States.

Pittsburgh will host Kent State, Syracuse will host Ohio and Austin Peay will be at Louisville. Virginia will host Richmond, Georgia Tech will play Georgia State at home and SMU will play Houston Christian. California will host UC Davis.
