College GameDay Headed to Coral Gables for No. 7 Miami vs. Virginia Tech Clash

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – ESPN announced Sunday afternoon that College GameDay Built by The Home Depot will be live from the University of Miami as the Hurricanes host the Virginia Tech Hokies in an ACC contest on Saturday, November 21.

This marks the 27th time that Miami has played in a game featured on College GameDay and the 10th time serving as the host site. The last time the Hurricanes and Hokies met with GameDay in town was a top-five showdown which saw then-No. 5 Miami earn a 27-7 victory in Blacksburg on November 5, 2005. It’ll be the fourth time that Miami and Virginia Tech have squared off with GameDay in town, joining the 2005, 2000 and 1999 seasons. 

The Hokies will make their 15th appearance on GameDay and the first since hosting the show in 2017. 

The Hurricanes will welcome GameDay back to Coral Gables for the second time in as many seasons as then-No. 4 Miami defeated in-state rival Florida, 26-7, on September 20, 2025. 

GameDay continues to bring the nation’s top matchups into focus with unforgettable backdrops. Last season, ACC teams hosted GameDay twice, including Miami on September 20 and Pitt on November 15. The show made history by opening the 2024 campaign in Dublin, Ireland, at the Aer Lingus College Football Classic between Florida State and Georgia Tech—the first international broadcast in show history. GameDay also made its first-ever visit to Berkeley, California, for California’s ACC home game in program history versus Miami on October 5, 2024.

ACC football has been a frequent spotlight for the iconic show in recent years, with stops in Miami (2025 – Miami vs. Florida), Pittsburgh (2025 Pitt vs. Notre Dame; 2022 Backyard Brawl – Pitt vs. West Virginia), Charlotte (2023 Duke’s Mayo Classic), Durham (2023 Duke vs. Notre Dame), and Clemson (2022 vs. NC State).
