Charlotte Loses Host Status for ACC Football Championship Game
Charlotte will no longer host the ACC Football Championship game after this year's event at Bank of America Stadium.
Charlotte, NC, November 9, 2026 —
Charlotte has been informed that it will not host the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Football Championship game following the conclusion of this year’s event. The decision means the city will cease its role as the championship’s long-standing venue after the upcoming game scheduled to be held at Bank of America Stadium.
The ACC Football Championship game has been a prominent fixture in Charlotte for a number of years. Bank of America Stadium, which also serves as the home for the NFL’s Carolina Panthers, has hosted the championship game, bringing significant attention and economic activity to the region.
Details regarding the specific reasons for the ACC’s decision to relocate the championship game were not provided in the initial information. The timeline for when this decision takes effect, beyond the conclusion of the current year’s game, remains a subject of discussion.
The ACC has not yet announced a new host city or stadium for the championship game in future years. The conference is expected to release further information regarding the venue selection process and the criteria for future host sites.
The conclusion of Charlotte’s tenure as host marks the end of an era for the city’s engagement with one of college football’s premier annual events. The impact of this change on the conference’s scheduling and the chosen host city’s community is yet to be fully determined.
