Florida State Uniform Schedule 2026: Every Jersey and When the Seminoles Wear It

Florida State has worn garnet jerseys in both of its 2026 games: gold helmets and garnet pants against New Mexico State, then the traditional home look with gold helmets, garnet jerseys and gold pants against SMU. This is the full Florida State 2026 uniform schedule: the garnet home set, the white road set, the white helmet, the turquoise Seminole Heritage uniform that still has not appeared in a game, and a week-by-week outlook for all twelve games, starting with Saturday's trip to Alabama. We update this page as each combination is confirmed.

The Florida State 2026 Uniform Sets

The current closet comes from the Nike refresh FSU unveiled at the 2023 spring game. It moved the numbers from the shoulders to the sleeves, put a patchwork pattern built from the Seminole symbols for arrow, man on horse and fire on the cuffs and collar, and added the Seminole head logo to both hips of the pants. Two jerseys, three pants and two helmets make twelve possible combinations, and Mike Norvell's staff uses a lot of them: in 2025 FSU wore six different looks, and none of them were turquoise or black. The program announces each combination during game week. Home dates below default to garnet and road dates to white until that announcement lands.

The Full Florida State 2026 Uniform Schedule, Week by Week

August 29 vs. New Mexico State. ★ Confirmed from the broadcast: gold helmet, garnet jersey, garnet pants, the all-garnet alternate home look under the gold shell, at Doak Campbell Stadium. Florida State won 34-17. FSU used this same combination three times at home in 2025, so it is a regular part of the rotation, not a one-off.

September 7 vs. SMU. ★ Confirmed from the broadcast: gold helmet, garnet jersey, gold pants, the traditional home uniform, making its first appearance of 2026 for a Labor Day Monday night game on ESPN. SMU wore all white and won 27-24.

September 12. Bye.

September 19 at Alabama. White expected. This is the return game from Alabama's 2025 visit to Tallahassee, which FSU won 31-17 in the traditional home look. Now the Seminoles are the road team at Bryant-Denny Stadium (3:30 p.m. Eastern, ABC), where Alabama wears crimson, so FSU will be in white. The open question is the pants: gold is the traditional road pairing, but FSU also wore garnet pants with the white jersey at Stanford last season. The official combination should come out this week, and we will update the cell once it does.

September 26 vs. Central Arkansas. Garnet expected. It is Family Weekend and Hall of Fame Weekend at Doak Campbell.

October 3 vs. Virginia. Garnet expected. This is FSU's Cancer Awareness game and the ACC home opener. When FSU visited Charlottesville last season, it wore all white with the white helmet.

October 9 at Louisville. White expected. It is a Friday night game on ESPN, 7 p.m. Eastern.

October 17 at Miami. White expected. Miami wears orange or green at Hard Rock Stadium, so the Seminoles will be in white.

October 24. Bye.

October 31 vs. Clemson. Garnet expected. Clemson will be in white, and FSU has designated this as its Military Appreciation game. Some programs change uniforms for that date, but FSU has not announced anything.

November 7 at Boston College. White expected.

November 13 at Pittsburgh. White expected. It is another Friday night game on ESPN, this time at Acrisure Stadium.

November 21 vs. NC State. Garnet expected. This is Homecoming, the Seminole Heritage game and the Athlete Alumni Reunion, all on one Saturday. It is also the date to watch for turquoise. The all-turquoise uniform has been ready since 2024, but FSU still has not worn it in a game, and for the 2025 Heritage game against Wake Forest it chose the traditional garnet and gold instead. We will not star turquoise until it is announced.

November 27 vs. Florida. Garnet expected. FSU hosts the rivalry game at Doak Campbell, 3:30 p.m. Eastern on ABC, the Friday after Thanksgiving. Florida will be the road team in white. Last season in Gainesville, FSU wore the traditional road set: gold helmet, white jersey, gold pants.

The Bottom Line

Two home games have produced two different pants colors under the same gold helmet and garnet jersey, and that is how Florida State's closet works: the jersey color is predictable, but the helmet and pants are chosen week to week. White is locked in for five road games starting at Alabama. The six home dates are garnet, with the helmet and pants still to be announced. The two things we are watching are the white helmet, which FSU wore only once at home last season, and turquoise, which has been waiting for a game since 2024. The grid above lists every date, and we star each cell once the uniform is confirmed.
