NC State travels to Scott Stadium on Saturday afternoon to open the 2024 season against Virginia, a Week 1 ACC matchup that gives both programs a chance to set the tone before conference play ramps up.
With both teams entering at 0-0, the stakes are simple and enormous: start fast, build belief, and grab an early conference win that could matter come November. Season openers are equal parts mystery and opportunity, and this one has plenty of both.
Kickoff is set for 3:30 PM EDT on August 29th. Two ACC programs, one Saturday afternoon, zero margin for a slow start. Tune in for the first snapshot of who these teams want to be.
