CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Stanford's lineup of conference opponents over the next seven seasons was announced on Monday afternoon, as the Atlantic Coast Conference unveiled its new football schedule model for 2024-30.
The Cardinal will join the ACC beginning 2024, transitioning along with longtime Pac-12 rival California and current American Athletic Conference member SMU.
Stanford's annual eight-game ACC slate will feature four home games and four road games. The approved format will have all 17 teams playing each other at least twice over the next seven seasons - once at home and once on the road.
The current 14 conference teams will play a total of three times each in California over the seven years and none will travel west to California in back-to-back seasons.
The new ACC schedule will continue with no divisions and increase the number of annual conference matchups from 56 to 68. The top two teams based on conference winning percentage will compete in the ACC Football Championship Game on the first Saturday in December at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
