The ACC Championship Game is the annual American college football contest organized by the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) to determine its conference champion. Held each December, the game has been a staple since 2005 and currently takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina. Following the elimination of the Atlantic and Coastal divisions after the 2022 season, the championship now features the two teams with the best conference records.
This event is notable as it crowns the ACC football champion, a title that historically carries significant prestige and often has implications for the College Football Playoff. The winner receives an automatic berth to a New Year's Six bowl game, making it a critical fixture in the college football postseason landscape. Clemson is the current titleholder after defeating SMU in the 2024 edition.
Recently, the ACC Championship Game has been a prominent topic in sports news due to the ongoing conference race in the final weeks of the regular season. Numerous headlines are analyzing various teams' paths to the championship, including scenarios for contenders like SMU, Virginia, and Georgia Tech. These reports often focus on updated conference standings and the playoff implications following key late-season matchups.
