Which teams are in the ACC? Full list of conference teams with additions of Stanford, Cal, SMU

Mark Giannotto, USA TODAY NETWORK

A new era of ACC football beckons this fall, with the somewhat controversial additions of Stanford, California and SMU extending the league's membership from coast to coast.

This offseason has been a tumultuous one off the field for the ACC, as Clemson and Florida State are currently embroiled in lawsuits regarding the league's grant of rights agreement attached to its media rights contract with ESPN. It all suggests they want out of the conference sooner rather than later.

That promises to be a focal point of the 2024 ACC Football Kickoff, which is the ACC's version of media days beginning Monday in Charlotte. But it's also going to be the first official public appearance for Stanford, Cal and SMU as ACC schools. Stanford and Cal arrive from the ashes of the Pac-12, while SMU spent tens of millions of dollars to facilitate its move away from the American Athletic Conference. So the ACC will have 17 teams competing for its football title this season (and 18 in every other ACC sport Notre Dame competes in).

It means this week's ACC Football Kickoff will take place over four days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). SMU coach Rhett Lashlee and Mustangs players will speak to reporters on Tuesday, while Stanford and Cal are scheduled to be available to the media on Wednesday.

Here's the full list of teams in the ACC this year and what you should know about this week's schedule at the ACC Football Kickoff:

How many teams are in the ACC?

With the additions of SMU, Stanford and California, the ACC now features 17 teams in football. (Notre Dame competes in the ACC in every sport but ice hockey and football, in which it competes out of the Big Ten and as an independent, respectively). Stanford and Cal technically can't officially join the ACC until Aug. 2 due to the Pac-12's previous operating calendar, but they are being allowed to participate in the ACC Kickoff event.

The ACC previously had 14 members dating back to when it added Pittsburgh and Syracuse from the Big East ahead of the 2013-14 season. Though it lost Maryland to the Big Ten in 2014, the ACC added Louisville the same year to remain at 14 members.

The ACC expanded to 12 members in 2004 and 2005 when it added Boston College, Miami and Virginia Tech. Prior to that, Florida State was the league's last addition in 1992.
