The 2024 college football season just ended earlier this month, but even if the 2025 season feels far away, it’s never too early to look for scheduling announcements.

While the full ACC slate won’t be unveiled until Monday, the conference went ahead and shared each team’s first league opponent on Friday.

Blue Devils fans will welcome the NC State Wolfpack to Wallace Wade Stadium in Week 4, the game scheduled for September 20.

Duke won nine games for the fourth time since 1941 this past season, its first under head coach Manny Diaz, and the Blue Devils beat NC State in a November showdown in Raleigh. The 29-19 victory helped Duke sweep its three in-state rivals for the first time since 2013.

Duke has won four of its last five games against the Wolfpack overall, and NC State hasn’t won in Durham since 2008.

The home game will also be one of the first looks at former Tulane quarterback Darian Mensah, who announced his decision to transfer to Duke in December. One of the highest-rated players in the portal, Mensah threw for 2,723 yards and 22 touchdowns with just six interceptions with the Green Wave as a redshirt sophomore.
