We’re almost there. Kickoff times and networks for the first three weeks of the ACC schedule have dropped, and now tailgating and watch-party plans can be made.

Check out when the biggest matchups to begin the season will take place, including Florida State taking on LSU, and Miami battling Texas A&M.

As you can see, there’s plenty of juicy matchups for ACC fans everywhere to sink their teeth into. Whether they’re intra-conference games or one-off showdowns with superpowers, some of the biggest games of the month will take place within the conference.

While Week 0 is light — with Florida State and North Carolina the only ACC teams in action — Week 1 features some huge games. The biggest may be the Seminoles traveling to take on Brian Kelly’s Tigers, a game that’ll have some special treatment on Sunday night at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.

In Week 2, Pittsburgh welcomes Tennessee to the “Steel City” for a huge showdown between two squads on the rise. Both teams will be hoping to get an early season victory at the other’s expense.

Then, Week 3 features the Hurricanes taking on the Aggies on ESPN at 9:00 p.m. ET, a game that’ll be broadcasted by ESPN. With both teams readying for seasons with big expectations, a ton will be on the line.

As for the Clemson Tigers, the first three weeks of their season is a little bit of a tune-up. After a disappointing 2021 season, Dabo Swinney and company start 2022 against Georgia Tech on Monday at 8:00 p.m. ET, featured on the Chick-fil-A kickoff game on ESPN. Then, two should-be victories round out the next two weeks for the program.
