According to reports, NC State and Virginia will play one another in a football game in Brazil in 2026. Yes, you read that correctly.
Two years ago, NC State and Virginia agreed to play a home-and-home non-conference series. The first game of the series was played in Raleigh this season, with the Wolfpack defeating the Cavaliers 35-31 on September 6th. The game that was scheduled to be played in Charlottesville is being replaced by the game in Brazil.
As a result of the ACC moving to a 9-game conference slate, the international game between NC State and Virginia will now be a conference game.
