The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) is a collegiate athletic league in the United States. Founded in 1953, the ACC sanctions competition for its twelve member universities in twenty-three sports in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Football teams participate in the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the higher of two levels of Division I college football.

The ACC is considered one of the six "power conferences," and the ACC football champion receives an automatic bid to one of the Bowl Championship Series games each season.
