Georgia Tech won’t play 9 conference games in 2026

ATLANTA — All 17 ACC teams learned their conference opponents for the 2026 season on Tuesday. But not everyone will play the same number of conference games next year.

The ACC approved moving to a nine conference game format in 2026. Only 12 of the 17 members will see that schedule change and Georgia Tech is not one of them.
