The Tennessee Volunteers will kick off their 2024 football season against Chattanooga on August 31 at Neyland Stadium, marking an in-state matchup that begins at 12:45 p.m. EDT, televised by the SEC Network. Tennessee has announced they will wear their fan-favorite Smokey Grey uniforms for this game, featuring the Tri-Star logo and a design that pays homage to the state's Great Smoky Mountains. The Smokey Grey series has been a tradition since 2013 and is set to continue with a unique version each season through at least 2025. This year's design includes the word 'Tennessee' across the chest for the first time, alongside orange numbers trimmed in white. Tennessee leads the all-time series against Chattanooga, with a record of 40-2-2. The Volunteers also have significant games scheduled this season, including home matchups against Alabama and a road trip to Oklahoma.
