Florida State is one of college football’s most prestigious programs, enjoying a heyday in the 1980s and 1990s, finishing in the top five every season from 1987-2000, before dropping from that lofty perch. However, there’s hope in Tallahassee that Mike Norvell is on the verge of leading it to a return to prominence.

Are you interested in seeing what the 2024 campaign holds for the Seminoles? It’s likely to be another great season and there are many ways that you can catch Florida State in action throughout the season.

Florida State Channels

With the Seminoles in the ACC, the vast majority of the team’s games will be broadcast on ESPN-related outlets. For example, in 2023, Florida State’s 14 games were broadcast on ABC (nine games), ESPN (three), the ACC Network (one), and The CW (one).

We will not know what channels most of FSU’s games will be broadcast on in 2024 until a week or two before each matchup. What we know is that two will be on ESPN, one on ESPN2, and the game with Notre Dame will be on NBC.

The CW will broadcast 13 college football games across the ACC. One of FSU’s games will likely air on it.

Of course, you’re here because you want to learn how to stream FSU football games. You’ll be glad to learn that you have various options to choose from when deciding how to watch those matchups.

Do note that you usually do not need to subscribe to a streaming service that offers ABC in order to watch ABC-broadcast Florida State games. Those contests will almost always be simulcast on ESPN3, and all streaming services that provide access to ESPN also offer ESPN3 — at least through TV Everywhere.

Florida State Football With Sling TV

You get ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3 with a Sling Orange subscription for just $40.00/mo. ESPN3 is especially important because it allows you to watch all the games that appear on ABC Sports.

This Orange plan does limit you to watching on a single device at a time (Blue gives you 3 streams at once). But that’s a minor issue given the incredibly low price of the Sling TV package. And it comes with 50 hours of cloud DVR storage.

Florida State Seminoles

The Florida State Seminoles were 13-0 and ACC champions heading into the postseason. However, a serious injury to quarterback Jordan Travis derailed their hopes for a national title. Instead, they would settle for a 63-3 loss to Georgia in the Gator Bowl.

This year, the Seminoles begin the season ranked 15th in the nation and a good chance to make another run at an Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) title. However, their schedule may once again prevent them from getting into the college football playoff as the Seminoles only play one team ranked inside of the top 10.

Florida State meets Notre Dame on Nov. 9, and their only true conference game against a Top 25 opponent takes place on Oct. 5 against Clemson. Of course, head coach Mike Norvell is going to have his team ready, and Alex Atkins and Adam Fuller are two of the better offensive and defensive coordinators in the country.

The Seminoles will face a tall task replacing key offensive figures in Jordan Travis along with wide receiver Keon Coleman who was drafted by the Buffalo Bills. They will replace those two with transfer quarterback DJ Uiagalelei who came over from Clemson and receiver Malik Benson who came to the team from Alabama.

Entering this year, the Seminoles have won 19 conference titles and lay claim to three national titles. Their most recent national title came in 2013 when they beat Auburn in the BCS title game.

Their biggest rivals are Miami, Florida and Clemson. The Seminoles are scheduled to play Florida every year until at least 2030 after the Florida Board of Regents declared that the two schools must play every year. Florida also plays Miami and Clemson most years as both are members of the ACC.

Other Florida State Sports

Of course, Florida State’s athletics department sponsors a number of other prestigious sports teams in addition to its storied football program.

FSU’s men’s basketball squad is one of the school’s most popular behind football. It has made the NCAA Tournament field four times since 2017 (2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021) and also has some history of note, reaching the Final Four in 1972.

However, the school’s women’s basketball team has experienced more success as of late, making every NCAA Tournament since 2013, including advancing to the Elite Eight in two of those (2015 and 2017). It’s still searching for its first Final Four appearance though.

With all of that said, the institution’s baseball team has a strong reputation within that sport. That squad played in every postseason held from 1978-2022 until that impressive streak came to a stop with a stunning 23-31 record in 2023. However, that was just a blip, as the team came back strong in 2024 making it all the way to the CWS semifinals.

It’s Florida State’s softball team that’s the only diamond sport on campus with a national championship to its credit, which was claimed in 2018. That Seminoles squad also finished as national runners-up in 2021 and 2023. In 2024, they were eliminated in the Super Regionals.

Another powerhouse side on campus is FSU’s women’s soccer team, which has won four national titles, in 2014, 2018, 2021, and 2024, beating football for the most of any Seminoles squad.

Games played by each of these teams and more Noles squads can be watched through ESPN-related outlets as well, most notably on the ACC Network as well as the online-only ACC Network Extra, which is available from all streaming services that offer the ACC Network.

Summing Up

Fortunately, you have several to choose from as ESPN and the ACC Network are commonly offered.

Fubo is our top choice for streaming Seminoles football. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.

FAQs

What rivalries are Florida State involved in?

Florida State has heated rivalries with in-state opponents Florida and Miami, the latter of which it faces in ACC contests. In fact, those three schools combine to compete for the Florida Cup although it’s been on hiatus in most recent seasons with the lack of a Florida-Miami matchup. It will return in 2024 and 2025, however. Regardless, FSU games with both of them will always be matchups with an extra edge to them.

In 2022, the Seminoles beat both of them, cruising past the Hurricanes, 45-3, in early November before outlasting the Gators, 45-38, at the end of the month.

Can I watch other college teams on the same channels?

Different teams are featured on different channels although all ACC schools will share many. See our guides for college football and bowl games. And for particular teams, check out these:
