Wake Forest and Syracuse will kick off the 2027 season with a Week 0 game in Toronto, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced Thursday.

It will be the first NCAA college football game played at BMO Field, home of the CFL's Toronto Argonauts and MLS franchise Toronto FC.

The game will take place on Aug. 28 or 29, with a specific date and kickoff time finalized at a later date, and will air nationally on ABC or ESPN.

'We are thrilled to bring ACC football to an international stage in Toronto,' said ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips. 'This conference game represents an exciting opportunity to showcase our student-athletes and our member institutions, as well as put on full display the energy of college football to a new and diverse audience.'

The contest in Ontario, Canada, will serve as one of Wake Forest's home conference games and will count as an ACC matchup between the teams.
