ACC football schedule: League approves 3-5-5 format starting in 2023

The ACC has officially announced a new scheduling model that will go into effect for the 2023 season. The league is eliminating divisions, and instead moving to a model with three permanent opponents and two separate five-team rotations that will flip every other year.

Instead of sending division winners, the two teams with the highest conference winning percentage will play in the ACC Championship Game each year. The league athletic directors and faculty athletic representatives officially voted in the model to take place from 2023-26.

“The future ACC football scheduling model provides significant enhancements for our schools and conference, with the most important being our student-athletes having the opportunity to play every school both home and away over a four-year period,” ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said. “We appreciate the thoughtful discussions within our membership, including the head football coaches and athletic directors. In the end, it was clear this model is in the best interest of our student-athletes, programs and fans, at this time.”
