**Louisville’s 2025-26 Basketball Schedule Revealed**

The ACC has unveiled its basketball matchups for the 2025-26 season, and there are some exciting games in store for Louisville fans. As expected, the Cardinals will have home-and-home series against their primary rivals, the SMU Mustangs, coached by Andy Enfield. In an anticipated twist, Louisville will also play home-and-home games against the formidable Duke Blue Devils.

Louisville has struggled against Duke in recent times, failing to secure a victory against them since Chris Mack's unexpected exit. Enthusiasts are hopeful that the upcoming matchups will provide the Cardinals an opportunity to turn their fortunes around against the Blue Devils.

In addition to facing Duke, Louisville will compete against every team in the ACC once throughout the season, with the exception of Florida State. The Cardinals will only face Florida State if both teams advance to the ACC Tournament.

Expectations are high for NC State and Virginia, as both teams appear poised for improvement under new leadership. Louisville’s home schedule promises exciting action, featuring games against top-tier opponents such as Duke, NC State, Virginia, Kentucky, and Memphis State. This lineup marks a significant enhancement from the schedule projected just a month earlier, bringing heightened anticipation for the season ahead.
