NC State travels to Scott Stadium on Saturday, August 29th at 3:30 PM EDT to open the 2024 season against Virginia in a Week 0 matchup that gives both programs an early chance to set the tone.
Season openers are always a blank canvas, and with both teams sitting at 0-0, this one comes down to who imposes their identity first. The Wolfpack hit the road looking to steal a statement win in a hostile environment, while the Cavaliers have the advantage of opening at home — where Scott Stadium can swing momentum early.
There's something special about Week 0. While the rest of the country is still in camp mode, these two squads get to line up and play a game that counts. Two programs, one afternoon, zero margin for a slow start. Tune in.
