FSU will likely get an early jump on the 2026 football season with a Week 0 game against New Mexico State. The Seminoles and Aggies will play at Doak Campbell Stadium on August 29, according to 247Sports.

New Mexico State, who went 4-8 this season, is a replacement game for Notre Dame, which was removed from the schedule last month. The rest of Florida State's non-conference schedule includes Alabama, Florida and Central Arkansas.
