After a long hiatus, the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech will once again face off against their ACC Coastal Division rivals next season. The Virginia Cavaliers will play Miami for the first time since 2023, while the Hokies will host North Carolina for the first time since 2022. These four programs were once part of the Coastal Division from 2005 to 2022, until the conference abandoned divisions for 2023.
The schedules for the 2027 season have been announced, with the Cavaliers hosting Louisville, Pitt, SMU, and Virginia Tech, while Virginia Tech will play Clemson, Miami, NC State, and Syracuse on home turf. The Hokies will face nonconference opponents The Citadel, Liberty, and Notre Dame. The Cavaliers have nonconference games against Arkansas State and William & Mary, but have not yet revealed their required Power Four opponent.
The ACC has returned to a nine-game conference schedule for the next season, marking the second time this structure is being used since the conference expanded to 17 teams in 2024. Protected rivalries such as Virginia Tech-UVA, Virginia-North Carolina, and Miami-Virginia Tech will remain intact, with additional nonconference games scheduled against Power Four opponents.
