The Florida State softball announced their 2024 schedule on Thursday afternoon that features 13 NCAA Tournament teams from 2023 and five home games against teams that made a Super Regional in 2023.
"We are excited to announce this highly competitive schedule for Team 41 and our fans. The ability to host many great programs at JoAnne Graf Field will allow us to compete in front of one of the best softball fan bases in the country. We are also capturing a great opportunity with our road schedule. The challenges we will face both at home and on the road will challenge us as a team. The journey of a season is a special one, and this is a challenging schedule that Team 41 is excited for. The Plex will be rocking, and we can't wait for the first pitch on February 8th," Head Coach Lonni Alameda said.
Fans will get their first look at the 2024 team on February 3, 2024, for the Garnet and Gold Scrimmage. This will also serve as Fan Day.
