Syracuse football 2024 schedule includes two first-time opponents, visit from Miami

The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) on Wednesday afternoon announced the upcoming football schedule for the first season under new Orange head coach Fran Brown.

Syracuse will have seven home games, including the opener with Ohio on Aug. 31. The other home matchups involve Georgia Tech, Stanford, Holy Cross, Virginia Tech, UConn, and the regular season finale with Miami. The Hurricanes will make their first trip to the JMA Wireless Dome since 2002.

Syracuse University also noted that the Stanford game is set for Friday night, Sept. 20, “the 44th anniversary of the first game played in the Dome — a significant number in Syracuse football history.”

The Orange will also make a pair of trips to the Pacific time zone, facing UNLV and California (Cal). The two trips west are the first time that Syracuse has had multiple games in the Pacific time zone since 1915. Syracuse hasn’t played the Cal Golden Bears since visiting Berkeley, California in 1968

The schedule also includes road trips to N.C. State; to Pittsburgh for the 80th meeting with the Panthers; and to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts for the 58th meeting with Boston College.

Stanford, Cal, and Southern Methodist (SMU) are new to the ACC, but the SMU Mustangs aren’t on the Syracuse schedule in 2024.

Due to “how the calendar falls,” teams have multiple open weekends this season, Syracuse University said. The bye weeks for the Orange are scheduled for Sept. 14 and Oct. 19.

The 2024 Syracuse football schedule is as follows:
