After only playing one regular-season game outside North Carolina or Virginia last season, the Blue Devils will be doing a lot more traveling next year.
The ACC released its 2018 football schedule Tuesday afternoon, finalizing Duke's slate for the upcoming fall. The Blue Devils' schedule is headlined by a home matchup with rival North Carolina Nov. 10 and a trip to Death Valley Nov. 17 to face Clemson at Memorial Stadium for the first time since 2008.
Duke's nonconference schedule was already set in stone before Tuesday, featuring trips to Northwestern Sept. 8 and Baylor Sept. 15 after the Blue Devils beat both at Wallace Wade Stadium last September. Duke will also have to travel to Pittsburgh, Miami and Georgia Tech in conference play.
Duke's conference opener will come Sept. 29 against Virginia Tech, and it has a bye in Week 6 before finishing the season playing seven straight weeks.
