Here’s NC State’s 2026 ACC Football Opponents!

NC State’s 2026 ACC Football opponents were announced today!

The Wolfpack will host Cal, Duke, Louisville, Syracuse, and Wake Forest. NC State will play Florida State, UNC, and Stanford on the road.

NC State was originally scheduled to play Virginia in a non-conference game in Charlottesville next year, but with the ACC moving to a nine-game conference slate, the matchup between the Wolfpack and the Cavaliers
in Brazil will now count as a conference game.

Twelve of the 17 ACC schools will play nine conference games next year, while five will still play eight.
Boston College, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, and UNC are the five teams that will play only eight ACC games in 2026.

These schools are being given a one-year exception due to existing contractual obligations and scheduling balance.

Here’s a look at NC State’s 2026 football opponents:
