North Carolina State University (NC State) has officially canceled its scheduled football game against Texas Tech University in 2027. This decision follows the Atlantic Coast Conference's (ACC) shift to a nine-game conference schedule, which has forced teams to eliminate some non-conference matchups. NC State is set to host Kansas State in 2027, thereby meeting the requirement for a non-conference Power 4 opponent. The decision to cancel the Texas Tech game was influenced by financial considerations, as NC State opted to retain its home game rather than trade it for a road game. Additionally, NC State will face another scheduling decision for 2028, which currently includes road games against Appalachian State and East Carolina University.
