The Atlantic Coast Conference announced that California will travel to Wake Forest on Friday, Nov. 8, for the first meeting between the two schools on the gridiron.
The announcement was part of the unveiling of the league's 2024 Thursday and Friday specialty games beyond Week 1. The conference's three-day 2024 football schedule unveiling began Monday with Week 0 and Week 1 contests and will conclude Wednesday, when the full schedule is released. Kickoff times and television networks will be announced at later dates.
The ACC Huddle: 2024 Football Schedule Release Show on the ACC Network and ESPN2 will provide extensive coverage of the full schedule announcement Wednesday beginning at 2 p.m. PT. All announcements are also being featured on the ACC Network's ACC PM and are part of a full week of football coverage and commentary that will include interviews with all 17 ACC head football coaches on the ACC Network and ACC Sirius XM.
The ACC announced its future football schedule model for the next seven seasons last October. Cal will host four ACC opponents in 2024 – the Golden Bears' inaugural season in the conference – with Miami, North Carolina State, Stanford and Syracuse visiting California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley. In addition to the Nov. 8 contest at Wake Forest, Cal's first slate of ACC road games includes trips to Florida State, Pittsburgh and SMU.
