MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Miami Hurricanes will open the 2024 football season on the road at Florida, travel across the country to face Atlantic Coast Conference newcomer California to begin October, host rival Florida State at the end of the month and finish the regular season at Syracuse.

Miami learned its complete schedule Wednesday as the ACC unveiled its full slate of games.

The Hurricanes will play three of their first five games at Hard Rock Stadium and don't have to leave the state until October.

After taking on the Gators in Gainesville, the Hurricanes will open their home schedule against defending Southwestern Athletic Conference champion Florida A&M at Hard Rock Stadium, followed by their first-ever meeting with Ball State. They'll conclude their nonconference schedule in mid-September at South Florida.

As previously announced, Miami will host Virginia Tech on a Friday night in the ACC opener on Sept. 27.
