CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Atlantic Coast Conference has unveiled Stanford’s conference opponents for its 18-game league slate in 2026.
Stanford will see home-and-home dates against rival California as well as Syracuse, which it did not face last season, and it will not face Pittsburgh during the regular season. The Cardinal’s home opponents will be Boston College, Florida State, Miami, NC State, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest, and it will take to the road to battle Clemson, Duke, Georgia Tech, Louisville, North Carolina, Notre Dame and SMU.
Stanford went 20-13 last season with a 9-9 mark in the ACC, advancing to participate in the College Basketball Crown. Stanford competed in the postseason for the second consecutive season, marking its first back-to-back postseason tournaments since 2012-15. Kyle Smith became the first coach in program history to win 20 or more games in each of his first two seasons at Stanford, and he has led the program to a .500 or better mark in consecutive seasons in the ACC as one of just five teams to accomplish the feat, along with Duke, North Carolina, Louisville and Clemson.
