The 2026 ACC football season features prominent storylines headlined by Miami’s push to return to the College Football Playoff national championship game following its runner-up finish last January.

The Hurricanes heavily upgraded their roster through the transfer portal, landing former Duke quarterback and reigning ACC Championship Game MVP Darian Mensah alongside his top wide receiver target, Cooper Barkate.

Defending ACC champion Duke looks to reload under Manny Diaz after those notable portal departures, while Clemson aims to bounce back from a 7-6 campaign last season.

Other top contenders entering the season include preseason-ranked programs No. 21 Louisville, featuring Ohio State transfer quarterback Lincoln Kienholz, and No. 22 SMU, led by returning signal-caller Kevin Jennings.

Ahead of the season, the top coaches and players will meet with the media to discuss the upcoming season. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2026 ACC Football Kickoff, including TV channels, live streams, schedules and more.
