GREENSBORO, N.C. — There’s a new challenge coming to ESPN. The sports network, along with the Atlantic Coast Conference and the Southeastern Conference, announced the creation of the new ACC/SEC Challenge for men’s and women’s basketball. The challenge will begin in the 2023-2024 season.

No word if the Louisville-Kentucky game will be involved.

As part of the annual challenge — one in men’s basketball and one in women’s basketball — ACC and SEC teams will face one another. Each one of the 28 games (30 starting in 2025-26) will air on an ESPN platform and each conference will host an equal number of home games. The conferences and the network will announce matchups and game times later.

The announcement of the ACC/SEC Challenge means the end of ACC/Big Ten Challenge, which ESPN established with the two conferences in 1999 as a first-of-its-kind event. The last installment of the 23-year-old event, and the 15th edition of the ACC/Big Ten Women’s Challenge, will take place this week.

It also ends the SEC/Big 12 Challenge, which started in the 2013-14 season. The 10th SEC/Big 12 Challenge takes place Jan. 28, 2023. SEC women’s basketball conducted a challenge with the Big 12 from 2014 to 2021.

“The future ACC/SEC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Challenges will be outstanding events for our student-athletes, member institutions and fans,” said ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips, Ph.D. “The SEC, led by Greg Sankey, and our partners at ESPN have been terrific, and there’s great excitement for the first annual ACC/SEC Challenge next season. As part of this announcement, we’d like to acknowledge the Big Ten for its partnership on the ACC/B1G Challenge that spanned more than 20 years.”

“We look forward to showcasing the talented men’s and women’s programs throughout the ACC and SEC in the years ahead through this exciting new collaboration with both conferences,” said Nick Dawson, ESPN Vice President, Programming. “Since establishing the very first inter-conference challenge in 1999, these events have been a staple of our college basketball schedule for more than two decades. We thank both the Big Ten and Big 12 for their partnership in the final year of our existing events and look forward to finding more ways to creatively partner with both conferences in 2023-24 and beyond.”
