The Atlantic Coast Conference released updated 2020 football schedules for its member institutions Thursday morning. Virginia’s slate features 11 regular-season games, including six home games. Starting times and television broadcast information for all contests will be announced at a later date.

In 2020, Virginia will host VMI (Sept. 11), NC State (Oct. 10), North Carolina (Oct. 31), Louisville (Nov. 7), Duke (Nov. 14) and Boston College (Dec. 5). UVA’s season-opener against VMI is the Cavaliers’ lone non-conference game and their only Friday game on the 2020 schedule.

UVA will travel for contests at Virginia Tech (Sept. 19), at Clemson (Oct. 3), at Wake Forest (Oct. 17), at Miami (Oct. 24) and at Florida State (Nov. 28).
