The much-anticipated 2026 contest between North Carolina State and the University of Virginia, originally set to be staged in Brazil, will now be held in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Why the Move Matters
The relocation was confirmed after Athlete Advantage informed the Atlantic Coast Conference and the participating schools that the Brazilian venue could not meet the required standards, prompting a swift reassignment of the game's location.
The game remains scheduled for Saturday, August 29, and organizers are working to finalize the new site at Scott Stadium while ensuring all logistical elements are in place.
Fans who purchased tickets or travel packages through the official College Football Brasil website will receive refunds, with the refund process being coordinated through ticketing platforms, payment processors and event partners.
Further details on ticket availability for the Charlottesville fixture will be announced in the coming weeks, giving supporters a clear path to attend the rescheduled contest.
