The ACC released Miami's 18-game conference schedule for the 2026-27 men's basketball season, filling in the dates around a non-conference slate that already included Florida, Alabama, Texas and the Las Vegas tournament.

The Hurricanes open conference play on Dec. 29 at the Watsco Center against NC State. They then start the new year on the road at Pittsburgh on Jan. 2 and Georgia Tech on Jan. 5 before returning home for Syracuse on Jan. 9 and Virginia on Jan. 16.

January finishes with Miami going to Louisville on Jan. 19 and Virginia Tech on Jan. 23. The Canes then host Clemson on Jan. 27 and Wake Forest on Jan. 30.

Miami plays on ESPN's Big Monday twice, first at Duke on Feb. 1 and later at North Carolina on Feb. 22. The Duke game is a return to Cameron Indoor Stadium for second-year coach Jai Lucas, who was Duke's associate head coach before taking the Miami job.

Between those two Mondays, the Hurricanes host Florida State on Feb. 6, fly west to play Stanford on Feb. 10 and California on Feb. 13, and come home for Notre Dame on Feb. 20. They close the regular season against Pittsburgh on Feb. 27, SMU on March 2 and at Florida State on March 6.

Miami's two home-and-home series are Florida State and Pittsburgh. The Seminoles remain the primary ACC partner. Pitt is the variable partner this season. The Hurricanes do not play Boston College.

The conference announcement complete a schedule that starts on Nov. 2 against Florida in Tampa. Miami then hosts Wagner, North Florida, North Alabama, Rider and Manhattan before the Players Era 16 in Las Vegas.

Alabama visits Coral Gables on Dec. 2 in the ACC/SEC Challenge and Miami also plays Texas in Houston on Dec. 12, with home games against Stetson, Alcorn State and USC Upstate filling up the rest of the slate.
