ACC
ACC Non-Conference schedules for the 2025-26 season.
Conference Play Outlook: For the first time since the 2018-19 season, the ACC has made the reduced change to an 18-game league schedule for the 2025-26 season.
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 are missing each other entirely, for the first time since 1954.
PAIRINGS
Future: There are several discussions about potential defections and expansion to the ACC. A league to continue monitoring throughout the next calendar year.
