The ACC–SEC Challenge is an in-season NCAA Division I college basketball series that matches men's and women's teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and the Southeastern Conference (SEC). It replaced the ACC–Big Ten Challenge and the Big 12/SEC Challenge which both ended in 2022. ESPN again would play an important role with the creating of the challenge and holds the broadcast rights to all games. The ACC–SEC Challenge will occur every year early in the non-conference portion of the schedule for the teams, typically played in late November/early December. Each game will be hosted by one of the participating schools, with teams typically alternating home and away status in each successive year.

The initial year of the challenge was played in the 2023 College Basketball season[1] ending with both Men's and Women's records tied.

Format

[edit]

Typically, match-ups are selected for their expected interest in the game. Higher profile teams are chosen to play each other to enhance television ratings for ESPN.

The men's and women's teams will compete in a series that features 28 games and will expand to 30 when Texas and Oklahoma join the SEC. The ACC will add California, SMU and Stanford at the same time, forcing two ACC schools to sit out every year.[2][3]
