Florida A&M has announced the 2024 homecoming football game date.
The Rattlers will play against the Southwestern Athletic Conference West’s Texas Southern on Nov. 2, 2024.
No start time is set, but FAMU has traditionally kicked off its homecoming football game at 4 p.m.
FAMU announced the game Friday, six days after the Rattlers hosted homecoming and defeated Prairie View A&M 45-7 on Ken Riley Field at Bragg Memorial Stadium.
Bragg garnered 22,338 fans at last week’s homecoming football game, over 2,500 more spectators than 2022’s game.
