NC State Football’s Future Non-Conference Opponents After the Cancellation of the Georgia Series

Related Topics: American football

NC State and Georgia were scheduled to play a home-and-home football series, but news broke yesterday that it had been canceled.

The ACC announced in September that it was moving from an 8-game conference slate to a 9-game conference slate, while also requiring schools to schedule one of their non-conference games against a Power 4 team. Most teams will be held to this standard in 2026, but some will still only play eight conference games next season. Certain teams that have annual rivalry games against Power 4 opponents (like FSU–Florida) will be given a year to adjust their future non-conference schedules to align with the ACC’s new 9-game format.
