CHAPEL HILL—The Atlantic Coast Conference announced on Thursday the future matchups of the league's 20-game men's basketball schedule, which begins with the 2019-20 season. The 20-game matrix is in effect for three years through the 2021-22 season.
Each team will play its two primary rivals every season both home and away (four games) and four repeat opponents both home and away (eight games). The remaining eight opponents will be single games, four at home and four on the road. The full cycle of repeat opponents will be complete following the third year.
As has been the case since the beginning of the ACC's unbalanced schedules that accompanied league expansion, North Carolina's two primary opponents each season remain Duke and North Carolina State.
