ACC announces Duke’s league games for 2026
Duke will play a nine-game ACC schedule next football season.
The league announced changes to the league’s scheduling model Tuesday afternoon.
Duke will play home games against Boston College, Clemson, North Carolina and Stanford next season.
The Blue Devils will travel to Georgia Tech, Miami, N.C. State, Virginia and Wake Forest.
“Today’s announcement of our 2026 football league opponents is another significant and intentional step forward for ACC Football,” ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said through a news release. “Transitioning to a nine-game conference schedule strengthens our competitive framework, aligns us with the other Power Four conferences and provides greater consistency for our student-athletes, coaches and fans.
“This phased approach reflects our commitment to competitive equity, scheduling flexibility and delivering a premier football product across all 17 institutions.”
Duke went 8-5 this season with its first ACC championship game victory. The Blue Devils went 6-2 in regular-season league games, avenging one of those losses by beating Virginia 27-20 in overtime in the ACC title game.
Duke’s final game of the season will be a Sun Bowl matchup against Arizona State on Dec. 31.
