ACC announces kickoff time, network designation for Battle of the Commonwealth Cup

W.Johnson36 min ago

Virginia Tech will close the regular season with consecutive games on the same television network and kickoff time.

The ACC announced Monday afternoon that the Hokies' Nov. 30 regular-season finale against rival Virginia at Lane Stadium will kick off at 8 p.m. and be broadcast on the ACC Network.

The Hokies are slated to play at Duke on Saturday at 8 p.m. on the ACC Network, and the matchup with UVa will be their fifth appearance on the ACC Network this season.

This season's Battle for the Commonwealth Cup will mark the first time the Hokies (5-5, 3-3 ACC) are hosting the Cavaliers (5-5, 3-3) in a full-capacity stadium since 2018.

The 2020 contest was played in Blacksburg with limited capacity because of COVID protocols. The 2022 matchup at Lane Stadium was canceled after three UVa football players were killed on Nov. 13 of that season.

The Hokies have won three straight matchups in the series and 22 of 24 since the 1999 season.
