The Atlantic Coast Conference awards championships in 26 sports—12 men's, 14 women's (women's gymnastics was added for the 2023-24 school year with the addition of Clemson), and one coeducational (fencing, which was relaunched as an official conference sport in 2014–15 after having been absent since 1980). In all sports except football and volleyball, champions are determined by a post-season tournament or meet. In football, the teams with the best conference records play in the ACC Championship Game for the conference title. The volleyball title is awarded based on regular-season play.
