It has been a couple of weeks since the Virginia Tech women's basketball team officially dropped their non-conference schedule for the 2026-27 season. It is a very home-friendly one, as 10 of the 13 non-conference games will be played inside Cassell Coliseum. Their lone true road game is at VCU, and they will take part in a two-game tournament in Florida in November.
What was going to be interesting was just how the ACC schedule was going to look with some of the offseason changes that head coach Megan Duffy had made, with two former players leaving through the Transfer Portal for new ACC homes. On Wednesday, the ACC schedule schedule were announced by Virginia Tech.
Virginia Tech learns dates against former players
In what is becoming a yearly tradition, the Hokies will begin the conference slate against Duke in December, and this year's tilt will be in Durham. It'll come three days after Virginia Tech hosts Tennessee in the SEC/ACC Challenge in Blacksburg.

Duffy and her team will be in Pittsburgh to ring in the New Year on New Year's Eve. After two home games against Syracuse and Notre Dame, the Hokies will make the trip to Charlottesville for the first of two Commonwealth Clashes with Virginia on Jan. 10. The first of two matchups against former players will be on Jan. 17, when Carys Baker and Louisville visit Cassell Coliseum. On Feb. 4, the Hokies will visit former point guard Mackenzie Nelson and Clemson.
There are some tough stretches within the conference slate, along with two byes- one in January and one in February- but the conference schedule and regular season close out on Feb. 28 when Virginia visits Cassell Coliseum. The 2027 ACC Tournament will be held at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, from March 3-7.
Overall, the schedule is one that is spread out and doesn't have any crazy travel with it. They have SMU, California, and Stanford all visiting this season. Virginia, North Carolina, Clemson, North Carolina State, and Duke are the five toughest conference road games, and all five are within four weeks of each other, from early January through early February.
