Who does Florida, FSU, Miami football play in 2024? Here’s a look at each team’s schedule

It’s a long way until college football season, but fans across Florida have plenty to look forward to, including the first time since 2019 the three biggest teams in the Sunshine State play each other.

The Florida State Seminoles are ready to burst into the expanded College Football Playoff field after just missing out in 2023. FSU coach Mike Norvell has a lot of holes to fill, but new quarterback DJ Uiagalelei will help patch things up before the season opener against Georgia Tech in Dublin, Ireland. The Seminoles’ full schedule was released Wednesday, so fans know when they’ll welcome new ACC rival Cal into Doak Campbell Stadium and head to South Bend to take on Notre Dame.

The Florida Gators enter Billy Napier’s third year as coach hoping to get its first winning season since 2020. UF opens the season renewing its rivalry with the Miami Hurricanes and faces a gauntlet in back-to-back games against Georgia and SEC newcomer Texas, all while an NIL investigation into Jaden Rashada’s recruitment looms.

Miami has more than just Florida and FSU on its in-state slate. Coach Mario Cristobal travels to USF and hosts Florida A&M, who is coming off a SWAC championship and Celebration Bowl win for the Black college football national championship. FAMU will hope to keep rolling with a new head coach after Willie Simmons left to be the Duke running backs coach.

And let’s not forget UCF, who in addition to facing the Gators in the Swamp, will host three new Big 12 teams this season: Arizona, Utah and Deion Sanders’ Colorado squad. The Big 12’s full schedule isn’t out yet, but we know the Knights will also hit the road to face newcomer Arizona State in 2024.
