The 2023 ACC Championship Game was a college football conference championship game played on December 2, 2023, at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina to determine the champion of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) for the 2023 season. The game featured the Florida State Seminoles and the Louisville Cardinals. The 19th annual ACC Championship Game was held at 8:14 p.m. EST on ABC.[1]
On June 28, 2022, the ACC approved a new football schedule format, set to take effect in the 2023 season. Under this format participation in the ACC championship game will no longer be determined by the winners of the now eliminated divisions. Instead, the two teams with the highest conference winning percentage will play in the Championship game.[2] [3]
The 2023 ACC Championship Game featured the Florida State Seminoles, with an 8–0 conference record, representing the #1 seed, and the Louisville Cardinals, with a 7–1 conference record, representing the #2 seed. It will be the teams' 24th meeting, with Florida State leading the series 17–6.
This was the sixth ACC title game appearance for Florida State and their first since 2014. They are 4–1 overall in previous appearances. Louisville made their first ACC championship game appearance.
