As previously announced, the Hokies will play 20 ACC games during the 2019-20 season, including 10 home contests against teams from the best conference in collegiate basketball. Tech will continue to have Virginia and Miami as their primary rivals. In the 2019-20 season, Virginia Tech will also have repeat games with Boston College, Clemson, Duke and Syracuse. In addition to the six home games in the repeat games, the Hokies will also host Florida State, North Carolina, NC State and Pitt.
