Virginia Tech and JMU Cancel 2026 Football Clash
In an announcement from Blacksburg, Virginia, Virginia Tech and James Madison University confirmed the cancellation of their football game originally set for the 2026 season. The decision stems from the Atlantic Coast Conference’s (ACC) move to a nine-game conference schedule starting that year. This shift has limited nonconference scheduling options for its member institutions.
Details on the Cancelled Game
The two teams were initially scheduled to face off on September 26, 2026, at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg. However, due to the revised scheduling requirements, both universities have decided to cancel the matchup.
Future Scheduling Opportunities
Despite the cancellation, Virginia Tech and James Madison are keeping the door open for future games between the two institutions. The hope is to find suitable dates for matchups in upcoming seasons.
Virginia Tech’s 2026 Schedule
For the 2026 season, Virginia Tech will now feature three nonconference games alongside their nine-game ACC schedule. Notable matchups include:
- September 5: VMI at Lane Stadium
- September 12: Old Dominion at Lane Stadium
- September 19: at Maryland
Further details regarding the Hokies’ 2026 football schedule are expected to be released soon.
