The new format takes effect beginning with the 2019-20 season.

Miami will continue to play Florida State and Virginia Tech every season.

During the 2019-20 season, the Hurricanes will play home and away games against Duke, Louisville, North Carolina State and Pittsburgh. They'll host Boston College, Syracuse, Virginia and Wake Forest without a return trip and travel to Clemson, Georgia Tech, North Carolina and Notre Dame without getting a home game in return.

Boston College, Clemson, North Carolina and Notre Dame will rotate onto the schedule as home and away games during the 2020-21 season. The Hurricanes will see Duke, Louisville and Pittsburgh at home for a second consecutive year, plus Georgia Tech as the remaining home-only game. They'll be on the road for their lone games against N.C. State, Syracuse, Virginia and Wake Forest.

Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Virginia and Wake Forest rotate onto the schedule as home and away games during the 2021-22 season. The Hurricanes will play Clemson, North Carolina, N.C. State and Notre Dame once at home and Boston College, Duke, Louisville and Pittsburgh once on the road.

The full cycle of repeat opponents will be complete after the 2021-22 season.
