The 2025 ACC football schedule will be revealed in full during a special two-hour ACC Huddle: Football Schedule Release on Monday (Jan. 27) from 9-11 p.m. on ACC Network. The first hour of the ACC Huddle special will also be simulcast on ESPN2 and provide a first look at ACC game dates for the upcoming season, break down key rivalries, top matchups and more. 

The ACC’s schedule model for the 2024-2030 seasons is in its second year and the conference will continue to operate without divisions. The league’s 17 schools will play a total of 68 conference games. Based on conference winning percentage, the top two teams will compete in the 2025 ACC Football Championship Game, which will take place Saturday, Dec. 6, at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. 

SATURDAY, SEPT. 20 • VS. STANFORD • CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. • SCOTT STADIUM
Entering its second season as members of the ACC, Stanford visits Scott Stadium for the first-ever meeting between the two programs. Last season, the Cardinal finished 3-9 overall and 2-6 in ACC play. Both the Cavaliers and Stanford also host Florida State and travel to North Carolina this season. 

FRIDAY, SEPT. 26 • VS. FLORIDA STATE • CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. • SCOTT STADIUM
Virginia welcomes Florida State to Scott Stadium for the first time since the 2019 night game, when the Hoos scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to knock off the Seminoles, 31-24, in front of more than 57,000 fans. The two teams were originally slated for a rematch in Tallahassee the following year, but the game was postponed and ultimately canceled as a result of positive COVID-19 tests, subsequent quarantining, and contact tracing within the FSU football program. This year marks the 30th anniversary of UVA’s first-ever win over the Seminoles, a 33-28 triumph over the nation’s No. 2 team in front of a sold-out Scott Stadium crowd. UVA’s Anthony Poindexter and Adrian Burnim stopped FSU star running back Warrick Dunn on the goal line as time expired to solidify one of the most iconic victories in program history. The Cavaliers handed FSU its first-ever loss in the ACC and snapped the Seminoles’ 29-game conference winning streak. FSU leads the all-time series 15-4, but the Cavaliers have won three of the last six meetings dating back to 2005.
