The ACC on Monday released the television schedules and networks for the slate of games on Nov. 6 — Week 10 of ACC football action — which will kick off as early as Friday night.

The time of opening kickoff, as well as the networks on which each game will be broadcasted, is listed below in order of start time. Times are displayed in Eastern Standard Time.

Virginia Tech at Boston College, 7:30 p.m., ESPN2 (Friday, Nov. 5)

Virginia Tech bounced back from a loss to Pittsburgh with a win over Syracuse, but it’ll have to get past Georgia Tech before facing Boston College. Boston College, on the other hand, has an easy ACC matchup against Syracuse before it faces Virginia Tech.

Pitt at Duke, 12:00 p.m., ACC Network

Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett will look to add to his stellar 2021 campaign, which has him positioned as a top-five candidate for the Heisman Trophy, in an ACC matchup with Duke. Pitt has a 6-1 record (3-0 in ACC play) and will likely have no problem against Duke, which has not yet picked up its first ACC win.

Georgia Tech at Miami, 12:30 p.m., Regional Sports Networks

Georgia Tech has had a yo-yo campaign in 2021, with highs as joyous as a 45-22 victory over the heavily-favored UNC Tar Heels, and lows like a 48-40 loss to Virginia and a 52-21 loss to Pittsburgh. The Yellow Jackets barely snuck past Duke on Oct. 9, winning just 31-27, so Miami will look to improve upon its 1-2 ACC record at home.

Clemson at Louisville, game time and network will be announced after the games on Oct. 30

Clemson is having a remarkably poor season, falling to just 4-3 overall (3-2 in ACC play) after a loss to Pittsburgh. Dabo Swinney will look to lead his team to a bowl game, but the first step of being considered for any significant bowl would be winning out — and 4-3 (2-2) Louisville on the road does not provide the easiest matchup.

NC State at Florida State, game time and network will be announced after the games on Oct. 30

NC State’s once-bright season was brought back to reality after a 31-30 loss to Miami, its first ACC loss of the season. Though the Wolfpack still boasts an overtime win over Clemson and a 33-7, lopsided win over Boston College, they have lost their AP top-25 status. Florida State, on the other hand, will head into the home contest with NC State after an Oct. 30 bout with Clemson.

Wake Forest at North Carolina, game time and network will be announced after the games on Oct. 30

The undefeated, No. 13-ranked Wake Forest Demon Deacons, putting together perhaps the greatest campaign in program history, will look to reach unchartered territory — back-to-back wins over Duke and North Carolina would bring Wake to a 9-0 record, the likes of which it has never seen.
