The third annual ACC/SEC Challenge is set to take place on December 2nd and December 3rd, in what the ACC hopes is a much better result than a year ago.

However, the ACC as a whole wasn't just defeated in last year's event, but was absolutely embarrassed. Through the first month of the 2025-26 campaign, the ACC looks deeper than it has in any of the past five seasons.
ACC/SEC Challenge could prove how competitive ACC can be this season on a national scale
