NC State football schedule 2024: Here's every game for Dave Doeren’s Wolfpack

NC State football released its full 2024 schedule on Wednesday night in collaboration with the ACC Network.

Coming off a 9-4 overall record, including a 6-2 mark in the ACC and a 28-19 loss to Kansas State in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, the Wolfpack will welcome back several starters and a highly-touted group of players from the transfer portal.

NC State will start its 12th season under Dave Doeren on Thursday, Aug. 29, against Western Carolina at Carter-Finley Stadium before a big-time matchup against Tennessee in Charlotte.

Here’s a look at NC State’s complete 2024 schedule, plus a breakdown of what stands out about the Wolfpack’s slate.

NC State football to face Tennessee in Charlotte

The Wolfpack will have a chance to make an early splash on the national scene with a game against Tennessee in the Duke's Mayo Classic at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. NC State is 2-2 against the Volunteers, but the teams haven't played since 2012.

FUTURE SCHEDULE: Here are Duke, UNC, NC State ACC football schedules for next 7 seasons

Stanford coming to Raleigh, Wolfpack going to California

With the ACC expanding to 17 teams, the league welcomes Cal, Stanford and SMU to the mix. The Wolfpack will face two of those three programs in 2024, making a trip to Berkeley, California on Oct. 19 before welcoming Stanford to Raleigh on Nov. 2.

Clemson, UNC on the schedule but not Florida State

After earning a pair of impressive victories against Clemson and UNC in 2023, the Wolfpack will have a chance to run it back against the Tigers (Sept. 21) and Tar Heels (Nov. 30) this season. Both of those matchups will be road games in 2024. Unfortunately – or fortunately, depending on your point of view – NC State isn't scheduled to play reigning ACC champion Florida State in 2024.
