2026 ACC Men's Basketball Tournament Bracket: Finalized seeds, matchups, TV

The 2026 ACC Tournament bracket has been finalized after a busy slate on Saturday afternoon set the rest of the seedings. We’ll take a look at those below.

The highlight on the day was the game between Duke and North Carolina, although it didn’t necessarily have a huge impact on tournament seeding. Duke came out on top in the rematch of the series that ended with a buzzer-beater by the Tar Heels earlier this season.
