The ACC revealed on Monday its updated scheduling format for the upcoming year, which will include the addition of Cal, SMU, and Stanford to the league.

The ACC Network aired a special program on Monday revealing the conference opponents for each school. The specific dates have not been announced by the conference and will be disclosed at a later date.

“The membership displayed great consideration during the scheduling model process and successfully constructed a dynamic, adaptable, and competitive conference schedule that prioritized the student-athlete experience,” stated ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips. “The excitement and anticipation for our teams, alumni, and fans will only continue to grow as we look towards the future of this exceptional conference.”
