The ACC football schedule is out. Here’s who Duke, UNC, NC State are playing and when

The future became clearer for ACC football teams Thursday morning.

The league released the schedules for its member schools, at least giving programs an idea of how to gameplan for what should be a unique 2020 season, which is now scheduled to begin Sept. 12.

Last week, the league announced a 10-game conference schedule. Each team will get five home games and five away games. ACC teams also get to host one non-conference game, and each team will have two open dates.

There will be no divisions in the ACC this season. The two teams with the highest winning percentage will advance to the ACC championship game Dec. 12 or 19 in Charlotte.

Here are the schedules for N.C. State, Duke and North Carolina.
