When Does College Football Start in 2024? NCAA Week 0, Week 1 Schedule Ahead of Kickoff

Ollie Gordon II - College Football Rankings, NCAA CFB DFS Lineup Picks

When does the 2024 college football season start? Who plays in Week 0? Read the full Week 0 and Week 1 college football schedule and outlook.

After a long offseason, we have almost arrived at the start of the 2024 college football season! The college football landscape has changed dramatically over the last few years with conference realignment and NIL, but every weekend of the college season brings unmatched excitement and energy.

This year's Week 0 schedule isn't all that exciting, but we do get to see one matchup of ACC foes on international turf. In Week 1, we'll be treated to several must-watch games that could have heavy College Football Playoff implications when the dust settles in November and December.

When does college football start? Who plays in Week 0 and Week 1? Let's dive in! (Note: All times listed are Eastern Standard Time)

When Does College Football Start in 2024?

The FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) kicks off on Saturday, August 24 with Florida State taking on Georgia Tech. The Seminoles completed an undefeated regular season in 2023, but the College Football Playoff committee left them out of the four-team playoff.

Mike Norvell's squad should be motivated to send a message, and transfer quarterback DJ Uiagalelei will have a massive impact on how their season goes. We're under a month away from meaningful football!
