The ACC has unveiled its conference football opponents for the 2027 season, which will mark the second year of the league’s nine‑game scheduling format.
Sixteen ACC programs will play nine conference opponents plus at least one Power non‑conference opponent in 2027. Clemson is the lone exception, slated to play eight conference games and a minimum of two Power non‑conference opponents — a requirement the Tigers have already met with matchups against Notre Dame and South Carolina.
The ACC’s scheduling model guarantees that every team faces at least 10 Power opponents each season, aligning with similar standards in the Big 12 and SEC.
“Announcing our 2027 conference opponents provides another exciting look ahead for ACC Football and the compelling matchups our fans can expect across the league,” said ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips, Ph.D. “By continuing to ensure that every team plays a minimum of 10 Power Four opponents, this model reinforces the collective strength of ACC Football, supports competitive balance across our 17 programs, and prepares our teams to compete at the highest level nationally.”
Opponents for each ACC team in 2027 are listed below. The full conference schedule is expected to be released early next year.
