2026 ACC Football Team-by-Team Schedule: All 17 ACC Teams Schedule

ACC 2026 football teams schedule: Full 17 ACC team-by-team schedules, dates, locations

The ACC football schedule will have a new format for next season as the league transitions to a full nine-game conference slate in 2027.

For the upcoming 2026 season, 12 of the ACC's 17 schools will play nine conference games, with Clemson, Georgia Tech, Florida State, North Carolina and Boston College playing just eight. Those five teams each have multiple power-conference opponents already scheduled outside the league.

Because the ACC has an odd number of teams, one school will play eight league games each season starting in 2027.

The other big change for the coming season is that the ACC will play its conference championship game in the noon Saturday window on championship weekend for the first time since 2008, switching from its usual 8 p.m. time slot.
