ACC formally announces Cal, SMU, Stanford to join league in 2024

The ACC has officially added Cal, Stanford and SMU. The league announced the additions Friday morning, just a couple of hours after news leaked that the ACC had voted to bring in the three schools.

All three schools will join the ACC in 2024, with SMU coming on board July 1, 2024 and Stanford and Cal joining Aug. 2, 2024.

They will be full members with full voting participation.

“We are thrilled to welcome three world-class institutions to the ACC, and we look forward to having them compete as part of our amazing league,” ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said in a statement. “Throughout the evaluation process, the ACC Board of Directors, led by President [James] Ryan, was deliberate in prioritizing the best possible athletic and academic experience for our student-athletes and in ensuring that the three universities would strengthen the league in all possible ways. Cal, SMU and Stanford will be terrific members of the ACC and we are proud to welcome their student-athletes, coaches, staff and entire campus community, alumni and fans.”
