ACC–SEC Challenge
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 and the Southeastern Conference. 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 ending with both Men's and Women's records tied.
Format
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.In 2023 the men's and women's teams competed in a series that featured 28 games and expanded to 32 when Texas and Oklahoma joined the SEC before the 2024 season. The ACC added California, SMU and Stanford at the same time, forcing two ACC schools to sit out every year.
