The 2017 ACC Championship Game will be played on December 2, 2017. It will be the 13th annual ACC Football Conference Championship Game to determine the 2017 champion of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The game will be held at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

History

The 2017 Championship Game will be the 13th in the Atlantic Coast Conference's 65-year history. Last season, the ACC Championship Game featured the Clemson Tigers, champions of the Atlantic Division, and the Virginia Tech Hokies, champions of the Coastal Division.

Site selection

The championship game had been hosted in Charlotte, North Carolina from 2010 to 2015, and had been slated to host through at least 2019.[2] However, in response to North Carolina's Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act (HB2), the ACC voted in September 2016 to move the 2016 championship out of North Carolina.[3] Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida was chosen as a replacement site for the 2016 game. ACC Commissioner John Swofford delayed the decision on where to hold the 2017 football Championship Game due to the ongoing controversy.[4][5] On April 19, 2017, the ACC announced that the football championship game and other neutral site conference events would return to Charlotte in 2017.[1]
