The ACC on Monday released the television schedules and networks for the slate of games on Nov. 20 — Week 12 of ACC football action — which will kick off as early as Thursday 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, and all games are on Saturday, Nov. 20 unless otherwise specified.

Louisville at Duke, 7:30 p.m., ESPN (Thursday, Nov. 18)

Louisville, coming off two-straight ACC losses to NC State and Clemson, has a chance to get back on the right foot with two winnable games against Syracuse and Duke.

Florida State at Boston College, 12:00 p.m., ACC Network

Florida State has somewhat improved from a disastrous start to the season with two ACC wins, but a win at Boston College would be a real statement. First, the Seminoles host in-state ACC rival Miami.

Wake Forest at Clemson, 12:00 p.m., ESPN

Wake Forest’s undefeated season might have come to an end against North Carolina, but who would’ve thought that the Demon Deacons — not Clemson — would be the reason that this ACC game is flexed to ESPN’s main channel?

Wofford at North Carolina, 12:00 p.m., regional sports networks

North Carolina is coming off a monumental upset over Wake Forest, one that helped Mack Brown’s squad come one win closer to bowl eligibility. Surely, Wofford won’t be the team that stops them.

Georgia Tech at Notre Dame, 2:30 p.m., NBC

Georgia Tech has slowed down from the onset of the season, dropping down to 3-6 overall — last in the ACC Coastal division. After hosting Boston College, the Yellow Jackets will be on NBC due to Notre Dame’s exclusive television deal.

Virginia Tech at Miami (kickoff time and television network to be released after Week 11)

Two struggling ACC programs, two coaches who may be on the hot seat. At least, what’s what speculation says. Virginia Tech and Miami will feature a 5-4 Hurricanes team and a 4-5 Hokies team looking to climb up the ACC Coastal division.

Syracuse at NC State (kickoff time and television network to be released after Week 11)

Syracuse, in need of one more win to go bowling, has three-straight ACC contests left: Louisville, NC State and Pittsburgh, the last two of which are ranked teams.

Virginia at Pitt (kickoff time and television network to be released after Week 11)

Pitt has fallen off, but with a 7-2 overall record, Kenny Pickett still has a chance to play for the ACC title. Virginia would bring the Panthers one step closer to the ultimate conference game.
