ACC releases schedule, makes Notre Dame eligible for title game

The ACC announced its schedule for the 2020 season Wednesday.

The campaign will begin Sept. 7 to 12 and include 10 conference games for each program with one non-conference game. The non-conference games will be required to take place in the home state of the ACC school.

Additionally, Notre Dame will join the ACC for 2020, as previously reported. The school will also play a 10-game conference schedule and will be eligible for the 2020 ACC title game.

The Fighting Irish will play conference football for the first time in their 133-year history of being an independent program.

With the coronavirus pandemic worsening in the United States, the ACC and the other Power 5 conferences have scrambled to adjust schedules for the 2020 campaign.
