Another Friday Home Game Announced

Stanford and NC State meet on Oct. 23

STANFORD, Calif. — The Atlantic Coast Conference announced its Friday night games list for the 2026 season, with two games at Stanford Stadium featured.

The first, previously announced, is on Sept. 4 as Stanford hosts Miami in its first game following their National Championship loss from a season ago. The second is its home game on Oct. 23 against NC State, previously listed for either Oct. 23 or 24. Network and kickoff time for the Oct. 23 clash against the Wolfpack will be announced at a later date.

Stanford has only faced NC State one prior time in program history, coming in 2024, Stanford's first year in the ACC. The Cardinal made the trek out to Raleigh and lost 59-28. 

With two Friday home games on the 2026 schedule, it will mark the first season since 2012 that Stanford has had two Friday home games. 

Stanford has six home games in its first season with Tavita Pritchard back on The Farm, beginning on Aug. 29 against Hawai’i before continuing against the Hurricanes. For complete ticket information, including group sale tickets, click the button below.
