Notre Dame men’s basketball begins league play on the West Coast and ends it on the East Coast. Such is life in the new-look Atlantic Coast Conference.

The ACC revealed Notre Dame’s conference schedule Tuesday afternoon, which opens with road games at Stanford and California and closes with a trip to Boston College. Its list of home and road opponents — without dates — has been known since late May and can be found here.

The Irish have also known their non-conference schedule, which can be found both here and at the bottom of this story, since late July. That means all 31 regular-season games, with the exception of a to-be-determined opponent at the end of the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas, have been revealed.

Two things are different about the way the ACC schedules its conference slate this season. No. 1, the Irish do not play a random conference game in early December like they have in the past. And No. 2, each mid-week game has the option to be played on Tuesday or Wednesday, with the exact date revealed closer to tip-off.

Much like many of Notre Dame’s road kickoff times are set two weeks before kickoff, television networks will determine the date for its midweek men’s basketball games going forward.

Here is Notre Dame’s full ACC schedule for the 2025-26 season.
