Blue Devils will play first two games of the season on Fridays; plus another schedule note

Make it two Friday night games for Duke to play when it begins Manny Diaz’s tenure as coach.

The ACC announced game times and networks for the first few weeks of the upcoming football season and within that, it announced that Duke’s second game of the season—at Northwestern — will be played on a Friday night (Sept. 6).

Duke’s opener is a week before then, Aug. 30, against FCS-level Elon. That game will start at 7:30 p.m. and be shown on ACC Network.

The game against Northwestern will mark the eighth time in the last 10 seasons that the two programs are playing. Duke has won five straight meetings in the series, including in each of the last three seasons.

Duke’s third game of the season is against Connecticut. That game will be at 6 p.m. and shown on ACC Network Extra/ESPN+.

The Blue Devils will play on a Friday night for a third time when they play host to Florida State on Oct. 18. That game will start at 7 p.m. and be on ESPN2.
