ACC football schedule for 2020, dates for every conference game image

Notre Dame, ACC champs?  

In 2020, it's possible. The ACC announced its full game schedule Thursday, and Notre Dame — a FBS independent — will be eligible to play in the ACC championship game.  

The Irish will play 10 ACC conference games like every other school in the conference this season. The ACC adopted a plus-one model, which will allow for one game against an opponent from a different conference. The Irish will split television revenue with the other 15 schools, and that includes the money generated from Notre Dame's TV deal with NBC.  

The conference announced that the first games will take place the week of Sept. 7-12, and the 11-game schedule will span a 13-week period with two weeks. The ACC also will play as just one division, and the top two teams by winning percentage will play in the ACC championship game on either Dec. 12 or Dec. 19 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. 

Here is a look at each school's conference home-and-away opponents for 2020:
