ACC
ACC Non-Conference schedules for the 2026-27 season.
Conference Play Outlook: The ACC made the reduced change to an 18-game league schedule for the 2025-26 season, snapping a seven-year run with a 20-game league slate. The league title race will once again comprise an 18-game schedule for 2026-27.
The 18-game schedule features:
· One game (home and away) versus each team’s “rival”
· One repeat opponent (home and away).
· The remaining 14 conference games consist of seven home-only opponents and seven away-only opponents. Additionally, it creates a void when one ACC foe is not on each schedule. Most notably, Clemson and Virginia missed each other entirely for the first time since 1954 last season, and of course, Miami and Duke did not play.
