The Atlantic Coast Conference will begin a 20-game conference schedule in the 2019-20 season, up from the current 18-game slate. Thursday, the ACC released the conference matchups for each of the next three seasons.

Syracuse retains its two primary “rival” opponents, Boston College and Pittsburgh, that it’s had since joining the conference. Each season, SU will play those teams twice, once in each team’s home venue.

On top of the primary rivals, the Orange will face four teams each season twice, up from what has currently been doubling-down on two further opponents beyond the rivals. After the three-year rotation, SU will have had one season in which it played the remaining 12 teams in the conference twice.

Here is the season-by-season breakdown.
