The Appalachian State Mountaineers and NC State Wolfpack have adjusted their future football series, it was announced Tuesday.
App State and NC State were previously scheduled to kickoff their two-game series on Sept. 6, 2025 at Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, N.C. However, NC State replaced the game with a non-conference contest against fellow ACC member Virginia last summer.
According to the announcement today, the Mountaineers will now host the Wolfpack at Kidd-Brewer Stadium in Boone on Sept. 30, 2028. The date of the return game remains unchanged, which means the home-and-home series will now begin with the Mountaineers traveling to face the Wolfpack at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, N.C., on Sept. 26, 2026.
Appalachian State last squared off with NC State in Raleigh in 2006, which resulted in a 23-10 Wolfpack victory. The Wolfpack lead the overall series over the Mountaineers, 6-0, which dates back to their first meeting in 1932. All six games were played in Raleigh.
With the change, Appalachian State now has three non-conference opponents set for the 2028 season. The Mountaineers are also scheduled to host the Charlotte 49ers on Sept. 16 and visit the Toledo Rockets on Sept. 23.
NC State now has its non-conference slate complete in 2028 with the addition of the App State contest. The Wolfpack are set to open the season on the road against the East Carolina Pirates on Sept. 2 before hosting the Vanderbilt Commodores on Sept. 16 and the Campbell Camels on Sept. 23.
Football Schedules
2020 makeup 09/30/28 NC St at Troy ?
No idea. Troy removed the game from its website.
I guess the ACC sees no need to move to a 9-game conference schedule. The ACC will implode in the next 2 or 3 years.
All the P4 football conferences need to split into divisions, play 9 total Conf. games, that’ll make it easier to determine the two teams for the Conf. Champ. game.
I HEAVILY disagree. Moving away from divisions has been a only good thing because it allows the actual best teams to play in championship game and it means that you can play more opponents that just the same ones every year
Just like the SEC, ESPN ain’t payin’ so the ACC ain’t playin’. But more so, the quasi 9th game goes to schools already scheduled with Notre Dame.
