ACC football scheduling and conference structure

Overview

The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) has announced the 2027 football conference opponents for its 17 member programs. This marks the second season under the league’s nine-game scheduling model, a framework designed to ensure all programs play at least 10 games annually against Power Four opponents.

Under the 2027 model, 16 teams will play nine conference games and at least one Power Four non-conference opponent. Due to the league's odd number of members, Clemson will be the sole team playing an eight-game conference slate, supplemented by at least two Power Four non-conference matchups to meet the 10-game target.

Specific team schedules have been highlighted, such as North Carolina, which is set to play five road ACC games at Louisville, NC State, Stanford, Syracuse, and Wake Forest, alongside four home games. Virginia Tech is scheduled to host seven home games during the season. The ACC intends to release the full schedule, including specific dates and times, in late January 2027.
