FSU and FAMU football teams prepare for 2026 season openers

Florida State University and Florida A&M University will both open their 2026 football seasons at home on Saturday, August 29. FSU faces New Mexico State at Doak Campbell Stadium, while FAMU takes on Albany State at Bragg Memorial Stadium. FSU's coach Mike Norvell seeks to turn around the program after consecutive losing seasons, whereas FAMU is led by Quinn Gray aiming to restore its winning culture after a subpar 2025. Both teams face significant fan engagement and logistical challenges, including anticipated traffic delays due to large crowds expected at their respective games.
