Tar Heels ACC Schedule Breakdown | College Basketball News

The North Carolina Tar Heels are diving into a stacked 2026-27 ACC season, kicking off Dec. 30 at home against Cal and facing 18 league games across a thrilling mix of home-and-home classics with Duke and Louisville, plus matchups against Georgia Tech, Miami, NC State, SMU, Stanford, and Virginia at home — and road battles at Boston College, Florida State, Notre Dame, Pitt, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest. Notably, they’ll skip Clemson for the first time since before the ACC’s founding, while doubling down on NC State with a non-conference clash Dec. 15 in Greensboro and an ACC rematch Jan. 9 in Chapel Hill. Their non-conference slate opens with an Oct. 9 exhibition vs. USC and a Nov. 2 regular-season opener against Western Carolina — setting the stage for another electric year in Chapel Hill.
