The entire 2020 schedule was released on January 22, 2020.[2] On July 29, a revised concept of the schedule was released in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was annouced that teams would play a ten game conference schedule, which would include Notre Dame. An option was left for one out of conference game, provided that game was played in the home state of the ACC school.[1]
Previous season
Clemson defeated Virginia 62–17 in the ACC Football Championship Game.[3] The victory, along with a 12–0 regular season record, earned Clemson a berth in the College Football Playoff. The Tigers were the number three seed in the playoff and faced Ohio State in the 2019 Fiesta Bowl. The Tigers won the game 29–23 and advanced to the National Championship game where they lost to LSU 25–42.
Preseason
ACC Kickoff
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ACC announced that its 2020 Football Kickoff will be held virtually this year, instead of at the Westin in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Kickoff will be held from July 21 - July 23, 2020.[4] On July 13, it was announced that the Kickoff was postponed until further notice.[5]

ACC vs Power 5 matchups
This is a list of the power conference teams (Big 10, Big 12, Pac-12, Notre Dame and SEC).
