CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The 2026 ACC football schedule will be revealed during a special two-hour “ACC Football Schedule Release Show” on Monday from 6-8 p.m. ET on ACC Network. The show will feature ACC Huddle host Taylor Tannebaum and analysts Eric Mac Lain, Jimbo Fisher, along with Virginia Tech Hall of Famer, Eddie Royal.
The first hour of the ACC Huddle special will also be simulcast on ESPN2 and will provide a first look at ACC game dates for the 2025 season, breaking down key rivalries, top matchups and more.
Beginning in 2026, the 17-team ACC will play a partial nine-game conference schedule. 12 league members will play nine ACC games, while the remaining five will play eight conference matchups. The 12 teams playing nine conference games will be required to play at least one power non-conference opponent, while teams playing eight league games will have to play two non-conference power opponents.
The 2026 schedule format will serve as a transition as the conference moves toward fully implementing a nine-game league schedule in 2027. Beginning in 2027, 16 teams will play a nine-game ACC schedule annually, with one team each season playing eight league games due to the odd number of conference members (17).
Don't miss your first opportunity to see the Hokies in action at the annual spring game on April 18 inside Lane Stadium.
