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 narrative for the months ahead.
Season openers are always a reveal — new quarterbacks, new coordinators, new identities taking their first live snaps. For two programs looking to establish momentum from the jump, this early kickoff offers a rare opportunity to bank a win before the rest of the college football world has even taken the field.
There's something uniquely compelling about Week 0: the stands are buzzing with fresh optimism, the depth charts are finally public, and every snap carries the weight of an entire offseason's preparation. Scott Stadium will be the stage, and both the Wolfpack and the Cavaliers have a chance to own it.
