The 2020 ACC Championship Game was a college football game played on Saturday, December 19, 2020, at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.[2] This was the 16th ACC Championship Game and determined the 2020 champion of the Atlantic Coast Conference. This season, the ACC used a one division format.[3] Instead of representatives from two divisions, the two teams with the best conference records earned a spot in the game.[4] Sponsored by restaurant chain Subway, the game was known as the ACC Championship Game presented by Subway.

The game was originally scheduled for December 5. However, the COVID-19 pandemic pushed the game back to either December 12 or 19 when the revised ACC schedule was released[5] and subsequently to December 19.[6] Attendance for the game was capped at 5,240, or 7% of the capacity of Bank of America Stadium due to Governor Roy Cooper's order limiting outdoor stadiums to 7% capacity.[7]
