On Sept. 22, Virginia Tech will host its first Thursday night game since 2018 when their old Big East rival, West Virginia, pays a trip to Blacksburg. The Hokies will be looking to reclaim the Black Diamond Trophy.

Virginia Tech will also play a Thursday night ACC game on the road at NC State. In fact, for the first time in program history, Virginia Tech will play at the three ACC schools that make up “The Triangle,” North Carolina (Oct. 1), NC State (Oct. 27), Duke (Nov. 12).

The Hokies will wrap up the season against two in-state schools, at Liberty on Nov. 19 and at home against Virginia on Nov. 26, in the much anticipated Commonwealth Clash.
