ATLANTA — Georgia Tech's season opener against Florida State in Dublin, Ireland, will kick off at noon ET on Saturday, August 24.
The Walt Disney Co. announced during its ad sales upfront presentation on Tuesday that the game at the Aer Lingus College Football Classic at Aviva Stadium will be televised nationally on ESPN.
The first game of the 2024 college football season will air on ESPN immediately following the conclusion of ESPN Gameday, which will also broadcast live from Dublin.
The highly anticipated season opener pits Georgia Tech, which finished 7-6 overall, 5-3 in Atlantic Coast Conference play in 2023 (good for a tie for fourth place in the 14-team ACC) returns 16 starters in ’24 – including all-ACC honorees DL Zeek Biggers, OL Joe Fusile, RB Jamal Haynes, QB Haynes King, WR Eric Singleton, Jr. and OL Jordan Williams – against defending ACC champion Florida State, which finished 13-1 a season ago.
