ACC Championship Game

The ACC Championship Game is an annual American college football game held in early December by the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) each year to determine its football champion. From its inception in 2005 to 2019, and from 2021 to 2022, the game pit the champion of the Coastal Division against the champion of the Atlantic Division in a game that followed the conclusion of the regular season. Starting with the 2023 season, the ACC eliminated the divisions, and the top two teams with the best conference record meet in the championship game in Charlotte, North Carolina. Duke is the current conference champion after defeating Virginia in the 2025 championship game.

The Atlantic Division was represented by either Clemson or Florida State in twelve of fifteen years through 2019, including eleven straight from 2009 to 2019, and five straight by Clemson from 2015 to 2019. The Coastal Division was represented by either Georgia Tech or Virginia Tech for the first eight games from 2005 to 2012, but from 2013 to 2019 all seven Coastal teams each represented the division after Virginia won in 2019. North Carolina State, Syracuse, California and Stanford have yet to make an appearance. Clemson in 2018 became the first team to win four consecutive ACC Championship Games, on the heels of FSU winning three straight. The Tigers then extended the record to five straight titles in 2019 and six straight in 2020. Their streak ended in 2021 when the Pittsburgh Panthers won the game, beating Wake Forest.

When there were ACC football divisions, Atlantic Division winners went on to win the ACC Championship Game for nine consecutive years from 2011 to 2019, and were 11–5 in the game overall. The Coastal teams won four consecutive years from 2007 to 2010, but did not win again until 2021. There are no football divisions from the 2023 season onwards, the game instead pitting the two ACC teams with the highest conference winning percentage against each other. For the 2020 season, Notre Dame joined the ACC for conference play in football due to the COVID-19 pandemic and played in the first ever division-less format for the game.

The ACC Championship Game is held at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina each year, after being held in Florida (Jacksonville and Tampa) for its first five years. It is to remain a permanent fixture in Charlotte through at least 2030. The game's corporate sponsor was Dr Pepper from 2005 through the 2018 game.
