2024 College Football TV Schedule; Week 1 Matchups and Kickoff Times

College Football TV Schedule

The 2024 College football TV schedule for week 1 of the season is set. The first game of the year sees Florida State play Georgia Tech in Dublin, Ireland on Saturday, August 24th. We have five additional games on TV in “week 0” before the full opening week of the season kicks off on Thursday, August 29th, 2024. We have all of the confirmed kickoff times and TV and streaming assignments for the opening week+ of the 2024 college football season for you. Please double check the listings on the day since the networks can make changes on short or nof notice. 

Where is College GameDay Taking Place to Start the 2024 Season?

ESPN’s College GameDay is one of the most popular college football preview shows. It has been a staple of college football since 1993 traveling around the country to preview the top games. The preview show includes Rece Davis, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit, among others, with Corso making his pick known by donning the headgear (or other related school item) of the winning team. For the start of the football season, we have the 2024 GameDay schedule for you. They will be covering both week 0 and opening week (or week 1) of the college football season
