WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest's 30-game regular season schedule was released by the Atlantic Coast Conference office on Wednesday afternoon. The Demon Deacons are set to open the season at home on Friday, Nov. 13, against UMBC.
The ACC announced tip-off times and TV designations for games that will appear on the ESPN family of networks. The dates for all other games, both conference and non-conference, have been determined, but tip-off times and TV designations will be announced at a later date.
Wake Forest will play 15 regular season games at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, including seven against 2015 NCAA Tournament teams. The home schedule includes visits from defending NCAA Champion Duke, defending ACC Champion Notre Dame, two-time reigning ACC Regular Season Champion Virginia and NCAA Sweet 16 squads Xavier and NC State.
The Demon Deacons' 18-game ACC schedule will begin on Sunday, Jan. 3 with their first-ever visit to Louisville. The ACC home opener is Wednesday, Jan. 6 with the matchup against Duke.
Wake Forest's non-conference schedule, highlighted by the 2015 Maui Jim Maui Invitational, was released in July. Arkansas and Coastal Carolina, both 2015 NCAA Tournament squads, will visit Winston-Salem during the non-conference slate.
All conference games will again be televised this season. Eight of the Demon Deacons' ACC games will air on the ESPN family of networks, while the other 10 will air either on the ACC Network or on the Regional Sports Networks (RSN). All conference games will also be available on the WatchESPN app.
Game times for Wake Forest's conference games on the ACC Network and RSN will be announced at a later date, as will the TV designations for home non-conference games.
In addition to the 30 regular season games, Wake Forest will play one exhibition game, hosting UNC Pembroke on Friday, Nov. 6.
