Schedule[edit]

Boston College and the ACC announced the 2023 football schedule on January 30, 2023.[1] The 2023 season will be the conference's first season since 2004 that its scheduling format just includes one division. The new format sets Boston College with three set conference opponents, while playing the remaining ten teams twice in an (home and away) in a four–year cycle. The Eagles three set conference opponents for the next four years was; Miami (FL), Pittsburgh, and Syracuse, though this annual opponent structure was abandoned after just one season due to conference expansion.[2][3]
