Kickoff Times and TV Designations Set for Cal & Wake Forest Games at Oregon State

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Atlantic Coast Conference, in partnership with the Pac-12 Conference, has announced kickoff times for two non-conference games between the two leagues ahead of the 2025 football season.
 
On Saturday, August 30, California will travel to Oregon State for a 10:30 p.m. ET (7:30 p.m. PT) kickoff at Reser Stadium on ESPN.
 
The other ACC road contest at a Pac-12-member school in 2025 is set for Saturday, October 11, as Wake Forest heads west to face Oregon State for a 3:30 p.m. ET (12:30 p.m. PT) kick on The CW.
 
Virginia will also host Washington State out of the Pac-12 on Saturday, October 18, in Charlottesville, Virginia. That game time has not yet been announced.
 
In addition to the three games against the Pac-12’s Oregon State and Washington State, the ACC will play 26 games against its peer Power 4 Conference opponents and Notre Dame, the most of any conference, and once again, making the ACC’s non-conference schedule the most difficult in the country.
 
The non-conference schedule will also see ACC teams play 14 non-conference games against teams ranked in both the final 2024 College Football Rankings and 2024 Associated Press (AP) Top 25 Poll, highlighted by six games versus the national runner-up in Notre Dame and one each against top-10 teams Georgia and Tennessee.

ACC teams will play 35 non-conference games against opponents that appeared in a bowl game last year, including eight against teams that made the 12-team College Football Playoff.
 
ACC teams are scheduled to play 16 non-conference games against teams in ESPN’s 2025 Way-Too-Early Top 25.
