Schedule and Broadcast Details
Opening round games will be played on May 19, followed by second‑round matchups on May 20. Quarterfinal contests are slated for May 21 and 22, with semifinals taking place on May 23, and the championship final scheduled for May 24.

Historical Context and Past Winners
No team has ever captured both the ACC tournament title and the national championship in the same season, a streak that adds extra intrigue to this year's field. Past champions such as North Carolina, Clemson, Georgia Tech and Florida State have periodically risen to the top of the conference tournament.
The 2025 tournament saw three‑seed North Carolina defeat five‑seed Clemson in the title game, underscoring the competitive balance within the league. Building on that momentum, this year's field will look to make its mark as the road to the NCAA bracket begins.
