The Norfolk State Spartans have finally revealed their football schedule for 2024. They are looking to drastically improve upon a disappointing 2023 season. The Spartans finished with a 3-9 record and won only one game in the MEAC. They defeated Delaware State in the penultimate game of the season to avoid finishing last in the conference. Still, the Spartans struggled mightily, especially at home. All three of Norfolk State's wins came on the road. Additionally, part way through the season, they benched quarterback Otto Kuhns for Florida A&M transfer Cameron Sapp.

Norfolk State's season starts out rough as they have to take on the defending SWAC and Celebration Bowl Champion Florida A&M Rattlers in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge on Aug. 24. They stay on the road the next week to play at East Carolina. The Spartans' home opener takes place on Sept. 7, when they host Virginia State. They stay at home for the Battle of the Bay against Hampton, a game they won last season at Hampton.
