Virginia’s ACC Season Unveiled | Duke Basketball News

Virginia’s 2026-27 ACC season is heating up with a brutal Duke rivalry set for two showdowns — February 6 at Charlottesville and March 1 at Cameron Crazies — plus a historic rubber match potential in the conference tournament. The Cavaliers, led by returning All-ACC forward Thijs De Ridder and bolstered by key transfers, are primed to dominate with over 60% of last year’s scoring core back. They’ll also face in-state rival Virginia Tech twice, while skipping Wake Forest in the regular season. Their non-conference slate includes elite matchups against Villanova, Kentucky, UConn, and Arkansas, kicking off ACC play Dec 29 at Clemson — setting the stage for a championship-caliber campaign.
