ACC MBB turns back the clock, goes back to 18-game league scheduling format
The Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball schedule is getting a retro look.
What does that mean for Notre Dame and the other 17 ACC teams?
Beginning next season (2025-26) the number of conference games will be pared from 20 per team to 18. The ACC has been at 20 league contests since the 2019-20 season. Notre Dame entered the league for the 2013-14 season and played 18 ACC games a season up through 2018-19.
ACC women’s basketball teams never tried the 20-game format. They’ve bounced between 16 and 18 games since the Irish joined in 2013-14, and have played 18 since the 2021-22 season.
