Men’s ACC tournament bracket: TV schedule, seedings for 2025 championship
The 2024-25 men’s basketball season has been a trying one for the ACC, with only three of its teams widely projected to make the NCAA Tournament.
As NC State showed last year, though, the ACC tournament could be full of surprises.
The 15-team event tips off Tuesday, with several programs heading to the Spectrum Center in Charlotte with hopes of either improving their tournament seeding or keeping their fleeting March Madness dreams alive.
Led by potential national player of the year Cooper Flagg, Duke has been the league’s behemoth throughout the season, carrying a 18-1 mark in conference play entering its regular-season finale Saturday at North Carolina. Clemson and Louisville have been excellent, as well, with both looking like potential threats to make it to the second week of the NCAA Tournament.
Beyond that trio, the conference’s outlook is a little murkier. North Carolina’s late-season push has put it squarely on the tournament bubble, where it is joined by the likes of Wake Forest and SMU, both of which have stumbled down the stretch.
Here’s a look at the 2025 ACC men’s basketball tournament bracket, schedule, TV channels, streaming information and more:
Seeding for the ACC tournament remains to be finalized on the last day of the regular season, with several teams still in play for the No. 1 seed.
This section will be updated as seeding is finalized on Saturday. Teams’ conference records in parentheses.
* Gets double bye
** Gets first-round bye
