2024 Football Schedule Released

The ACC has announced its complete 2024 football schedule Wednesday with Cal's slate highlighted by the Golden Bears' first game in its new conference on Sept. 21 at Florida State. They’ll also have four home league contests in their inaugural season as members of the ACC against Miami (Oct. 5), North Carolina State (Oct. 19), Syracuse (Nov. 16) and Stanford (Nov. 23).

The Bears’ seven-game home schedule also includes three nonconference dates beginning with the Aug. 31 season opener against UC Davis, while the Bears also host San Diego State (Sept. 14) and Oregon State (Oct. 26). The Bears open a five-game road schedule Sept. 7 with the return game of a home-and-home series with Auburn. After its Sept. 21 visit to Tallahassee, Cal will have ACC road contests at Pittsburgh (Oct. 12), Wake Forest (Nov. 8) and SMU (Nov. 30).

The 2024 recruiting class is led by a transfer portal group that ranks as high as No. 6 nationally according to On3 and currently sits at a total of 28 members including 19 who joined the Bears as mid-year enrollees earlier this month. You can get info about how to place a season-ticket deposit at CalBears.com. An asterisk in the schedule denotes an ACC league contest.
