The 2026 ACC Football Championship Game will kickoff at Noon Saturday

The ACC Championship Game used to be in prime time on Saturday, but the ratings were pretty bad because it had to compete with the B10 CG. ESPN would want to maximize viewership, so moving the ACC CG makes sense for them. Interestingly, the Big 12 CG is moving to Friday night from Saturday noon, and the ACC is taking the noon time slot. So the lineup will be. Friday night: B12 on ABC Saturday noon: ACC on ABC Saturday afternoon: SEC on ABC Saturday primietime: BIG on FOX

Makes sense. I thought they should either move to noon or Friday.

About time ACC and networks raised the white flag on ACCCG

with disproportionate revenue sharing, it has to stay**
daveinop • 02/01/26 04:58 PM ET
As long as there is a revenue it stays

It’s impossible to catch up with the P2 and close the gap.
RandomAsianGuy • 01/27/26 05:24 PM ET
Yep, and every single school would be wise to do everything in their

When the new RFK Stadium is built, the ACC should play the CG in DC.
Maroon Baboon • 01/26/26 05:17 PM ET
That would be great if we even had a championship game or an ACC. **

Would love that, but with ACC HQ in Charlotte, I doubt we will ever see it.
Stech • 01/26/26 05:38 PM ET
The ACC/Charlotte champ game deal is only through 2030
SMU Pony • 01/26/26 06:37 PM ET
Can the ACC do something cool in football? Just once.
Maroon Baboon • 01/27/26 06:01 PM ET
ACC's definition of "cool" would be to play 2 football games simultaneously
VTHokie2000 • 01/28/26 12:57 PM ET
two games, one cup**
MrBayAreaHokie • 02/02/26 06:11 PM ET
And those teams playing would be Duke, Wake, Stanford and BC**
Calamitous • 01/29/26 09:42 PM ET
Then the ACC wonders why fans of both games are booing b/c both defenses
VTHokie2000 • 02/01/26 12:39 PM ET
however, more to the state of NC and championships
1947Sunbowl • 01/27/26 03:17 PM ET
Good to know, but still hard to believe it will ever leave Charlotte,**
Stech • 01/26/26 08:24 PM ET
How is SMU enjoying the ACC?
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/26/26 06:48 PM ET
Well, the alternative was making $7M/year in the AAC playing Tulsa and Rice
SMU Pony • 01/27/26 08:11 PM ET
I will try to make it for the game**
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/27/26 08:18 PM ET
