Duke basketball knows its ACC games for the 2025-26 season. Here's a breakdown of the Blue Devils' opponents for the 18-game conference schedule.

Somewhat surprisingly, the third ACC representative in Dauster's top 25 is not Duke's archrival, UNC, but is another Tobacco Road school. He ranks the NC State Wolfpack, entering the first season of the Will Wade era and enjoying a relatively formidable roster for the program, at No. 25 overall.

The ACC announced its second set of home-and-away partners Wednesday after announcing earlier this month that it would cut a 20-game men's basketball schedule to 18 as part of its efforts to boost the sport amid recent years of dwindling NCAA tournament bids.
