The 2026 ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament tips off on Tuesday, March 10, with teams battling for the conference crown and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

This year’s tournament will be held at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, and runs through Saturday, March 14, when the championship game will be played.

Out of the conference’s 18 teams, only 15 qualified for the tournament, meaning Georgia Tech, Boston College, and Notre Dame did not make the field.

BIG TEN TOURNAMENT BRACKET, SCHEDULE, ODDS

Top-seeded Duke enters the tournament as the overwhelming favorite according to the latest betting odds. Now while anything can always happen in these tourneys, I wouldn’t bet against the Blue Devils. On that note, I wouldn’t bet Duke either – not at -310!

Here’s what you need to know for the upcoming ACC tourney.
