The ACC/Big Ten Challenge will be Replaced with the ACC/SEC Challenge in 2023-24

The ACC/Big Ten Challenge will soon be no more. The 2022-23 season will mark the last year of the challenge that began back in 1999 for Men’s Basketball, and 2007 for Women’s Basketball.

The reason the Challenge is ending, is because it is being replaced with another.

Beginning in 2023-24, a new Challenge will begin between the ACC and the SEC, and all of the games will be on the ESPN Network.

As a result of this agreement, the SEC will also be ending a Challenge with the Big 12, which began back in 2013-14.

With two more challenges remaining against the Big Ten, the ACC has won 12 in Men’s Basketball, while the Big Ten has won 8 (there have been 3 ties). In Women’s Basketball, the ACC has only lost once, winning 10, and tying 3 times.

NC State’s Men’s Basketball team is 9-12 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, and the Women’s team is 7-3. The NC State Men’s Basketball team will not be participating in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge this week, but the Women will face #10 Iowa on the road this Thursday at 8:30pm on ESPN2.
