The Buccaneers are seeking a fourth straight NFC South title in 2024 and, thanks to their first-place finish last year, have an exciting and challenging list of home opponents. That includes the defending NFC champion San Francisco 49ers, the Baltimore Ravens in the Monday Night Football and the Philadelphia Eagles, who last visited Raymond James Stadium in Super Wild Card Weekend this past January.

Tampa Bay's home slate in 2024 includes a lone preseason game on August 23 against the Miami Dolphins, another team that made the playoffs last season. The "Play Football" theme for that contest is part of a league-wide initiative designed to highlight the qualities that make up the league's players, coaches and staff members. The game is presented by Ambetter, which will be providing cooling towels as a gameday giveaway.

The Buccaneers will start their regular season schedule at home, facing the Washington Commanders on September 8. The team will use that week and game day to celebrate all that the Bay area encompasses as part of the new "For Tampa Bay" them. Game sponsor Raymond James will provide red Buccaneers bucket hat to attendees as the afternoon's gameday giveaway. The Bucs' second regular season home date, against Denver on September 22, will be dedicated to bringing awareness to the increasingly popular sport of flag football and will highlight the Buccaneers role in growing the game both locally and nationally.

The following weekend features a rematch against Philadelphia, after the Buccaneers won that 2023 playoff contest, 32-9. The theme for that game will be "Crucial Catch," as the team continues to work alongside the NFL in an effort to raise awareness for early cancer detection. During the game, players coaches and officials will dress in gear dedicated to the fight against cancer

The Buccaneers' next home game, against the Ravens on October 21, will be the first of their two Monday Night Football appearances in 2024, and the game theme is designed to celebrate Tampa Bay being in the prime time spotlight. The game is presented by Publix, which will provide t-shirts to all attendees.

The Bucs will stay at home the following weekend to face the NFC South rival Atlanta Falcons but they will turn back to the clock to their days in the fabled "Black and Blue Division," the NFC Central. Players will wear their distinctive "creamsicle" uniforms based on their 1976 designs and the game will pay homage to the franchise's original home, Tampa Stadium. The Buccaneers will also use the occasion to celebrate the team's 1979 season, which culminated in the franchise's first playoff berth and postseason victory. The first 25,000 fans in attendance will receive a creamsicle baseball hats provided by game sponsor Fifth Third Bank. That contest will also spotlight the "NFL Votes" campaign.

After making their second "Monday Night Football" appearance of the season in Kansas City in Week Nine, the Buccaneers will come back to Raymond James Stadium for their annual "Salute to Service" game, presented by Florida Blue. After facing the defending league champion Chiefs, the Week 10 contest on November 10 will feature the other team from Super Bowl LVIII, the 49ers. Along with the rest of the NFL, the Buccaneers will take the opportunity to recognize and honor veterans, current military members and their families and thank them for their sacrifices. Players, coaches and officials will wear game-specific decals and gear to show appreciation to members of the military.

After facing the 49ers, the Buccaneers will enjoy a bye week and play two games on the road, not returning to Raymond James Stadium for almost a month. To celebrate that homecoming on December 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Bucs will join with the local community in a "Red Out." Leading up to the game, the whole city and the Krewe are encouraged to join the team and wear red at Raymond James Stadium. In addition, for the fourth year in a row the Buccaneers will team up with Mosaic, the game's presenting sponsor, to provide the donation of 65,000 meals to those in need. This game will also feature the annual "My Cause, My Cleats" campaign.

The Buccaneers will finish the regular season with a pair of home game, starting with a visit from the Carolina Panthers on December 29. That contest will carry the new "She is Football" theme, which is intended to spotlight the contributions of women to the game of football both on and off the field. The Buccaneers are recognized within the NFL as one of the leaders in elevating women in the game and have launched such one-of-a-kind women programs as Women of Red and the Girls in Football Scholarship.

Finally, the regular season finale, which will eventually be scheduled for either the fourth or fifth of January, will feature the New Orleans Saints as opponents and "Inspire Change" as the game theme. The Bucs will use this week and game day to recognize the philanthropic efforts of its players, staff and Krewe as part of another league-wide campaign.
