GREENSOBORO, NC. – The ACC released its 2018 football schedules and both Virginia and Virginia Tech will be playing in prime time throughout the season.

Notre Dame makes its first ever trip to Blacksburg on October 6, and the Hokies make a Thursday night home appearance on October 25 against Georgia Tech.

Tech opens on the road at Florida State, the first time they have played the Seminoles since 2012.

“We are excited to have seven home games at Lane Stadium in 2018,” head coach Justin Fuente said. “I know our fans always look forward to Thursday night games in Blacksburg, but I’m just as enthused about having three of our final four ACC games at home to close out the regular season.

“Opening the season at Florida State will be a tremendous challenge, but we always embrace the opportunity to showcase our program on a national stage,” he continued. “Our staff and our team appreciate the unwavering support of Hokie Nation wherever we play. We look forward to seeing our fans at home and on the road again in 2018.”

All 2018 football ticket information will be available for fans in early February, with season ticket renewals beginning the days following. For 2017 season ticket holders, the deadline to renew your seats is March 16. The deadline to submit a gift to the Hokie Scholarship Fund for priority seating is March 31.
