Wake Forest punches above its size: it is the smallest school in a power conference by undergraduate enrollment and the sixth-smallest in the entire FBS. The Demon Deacons play in the Atlantic Coast Conference and host games in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium, which opened in 1968 and holds 31,500. The stadium was previously known as Groves Stadium, after Henry Groves, who financed the school's old stadium. The full slate follows below; check back as start times and broadcast details are confirmed.
