This Week in ACC Wrestling

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The 2026 ACC Wrestling Regular-Season Dual Meet Championship will be decided Friday night as conference competition concludes with a pivotal slate of matchups across the league.  
No. 6 Virginia Tech controls its own destiny and can claim the title outright with a home victory over Duke on February 20. The Hokies enter the final weekend unbeaten in ACC action, and a win would secure a perfect 6-0 conference record and the outright regular-season championship.  
The title picture, however, could shift depending on the outcome in Blacksburg. No. 8 NC State will be watching closely, as a Duke victory over Virginia Tech would create a tie atop the standings. In that scenario, the Wolfpack and Hokies would each finish 5-1 in conference duals and share the 2026 ACC Wrestling Regular-Season Dual Meet Championship.  
Friday’s action features three ACC duals and a key non-conference matchup, all beginning at 7 p.m. ET. Cornell visits No. 8 NC State as the finale for the ACC Friday Night Duals airing on ACC Network, while No. 20 Stanford travels to No. 12 North Carolina and Virginia competes at No. 15 Pitt on ACCNX. Duke closes its conference schedule at No. 6 Virginia Tech on ACCNX.
The weekend continues Sunday as Cornell faces Duke at noon ET on ACCNX and No. 6 Virginia Tech competes at the Patriot Last Chance Open.
Tickets are on sale now for the 2026 ACC Wrestling Championship, scheduled for Sunday, March 8, at Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg, Virginia. … more at … https://theacc.com/news/2026/2/19/this-week-in-acc-wrestling.aspx
