Wake Forest Fans Will Notice Two Huge Home Games Missing

Get ready for an exciting 2026-27 season as single-game tickets for Wake Forest men's basketball go on sale, offering fans multiple options to catch the action live.

Single-game tickets for Wake Forest men’s basketball are officially on the board for the 2026-27 season, with fans able to grab seats for 15 of the Demon Deacons’ 17 home games at LJVM Coliseum starting now.

Prices begin at $15 for non-conference games. From there, the scale climbs to $25 for Boston College, Georgia Tech and Notre Dame, and $35 for Florida State, NC State, Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech. Tickets are available online or by calling the Wake Forest ticket office at 336-758-3322.

Two of the biggest dates on the schedule are not included in this initial on-sale. Individual tickets for Duke on Jan. 20 and North Carolina on Feb. 20 are not available today, though fans can still get into those games through season tickets, which cover all 17 home games, or the Three-Game Pack.

That package goes on sale Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 10 a.m. and starts at $140, allowing fans to choose either Duke or North Carolina along with two other home games. Single-game tickets for Duke and North Carolina will reach the general public in December.

Wake Forest is also rolling out two more options on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 10 a.m. The Flex Pack includes 10 tickets that can be used in any combination of games and quantities, with Duke and North Carolina excluded, for $195. The Four-Pack starts at $49 and comes with four tickets to one game, plus a parking pass, also excluding Duke and North Carolina.

Season tickets remain available now at $149 and include all 17 home games.

The home schedule brings plenty of familiar ACC names and a few heavyweight nonconference matchups. Wake Forest opens Nov. 2 against Maryland Eastern Shore at 8:00 p.m. on ACCNX, then heads to Vanderbilt on Nov. 5 for a 6:00 p.m. game on ESPN2.

Other early home dates include Charleston Southern on Nov. 10, Southern Utah on Nov.

14, Monmouth on Nov. 17 and Western Carolina on Nov. 21.

The nonconference slate also features Mississippi State in Battle 4 Atlantis on Nov. 25 at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN2, followed by either Memphis or Penn State on Nov. 27.

Wake Forest will then travel to LSU for the ACC/SEC Challenge on Dec. 1 at 9:00 p.m. on SEC Network, before home games against UMass in the Hall of Fame Classic on Dec. 6, Hampton on Dec.

8, Gardner-Webb on Dec. 15, West Virginia in Holiday Hoopfest on Dec. 19 and Presbyterian on Dec.

ACC play brings the marquee dates into focus. Virginia Tech visits Jan.

2, Notre Dame comes to Winston-Salem on Jan. 12, Florida State arrives Jan.

16, Duke on Jan. 20, Boston College on Feb.

2, NC State on Feb. 10, Pittsburgh on Feb.

13, North Carolina on Feb. 20 and Georgia Tech on March 3.

Wake Forest will also hit the road for league games at SMU, Clemson, NC State, Miami, Louisville, Notre Dame, Stanford, California and Syracuse, with times and television designations already listed for each.

The roster heading into 2026-27 has a different look, but plenty of promise. Sophomore Isaac Carr returns after appearing in 26 games last season.

Wake Forest also brings in Kevair Kennedy, the MAAC Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year, Kansas transfer Jamari McDowell, sharpshooter Justin Ray, and size in Ring Nyeri, Antonio Dorn, Xander Pintelon and Justin Abson. The Deacs added top-100 freshman twins Gallagher and Gavin Placide, along with Lukas Bojovic, who helped lead Slovenia to the 2026 U18 European Championship.

And there’s reason for the buzz at LJVM Coliseum. Wake Forest has gone 74-17 at home since 2021, a stretch that ranks tied for seventh nationally in home wins over that span.

Wake Forest Just Sent A Strong Message Before NC State

Wake Forests latest surge showed up where it mattered most, in the weekly ACC Football Power Rankings, after the Demon Deacons rolled past Stanford and stayed put at No. 2. The rankings are compiled each week by an editorial staff voting on recent performance, and the Deacs made a clear impression with one of the conferences most lopsided wins of the season.

Miami remains the unanimous No. 1, but Wake Forest has firmly separated itself from the rest of the league for now. With NC State next on the schedule, the Deacons have a chance to turn that strong showing into something even more meaningful, and their place near the top of the ACC gives that matchup a little extra edge.

NC State Has New Life On Offense Before A Rivalry Test

NC State heads into its rivalry date with Wake Forest carrying a lot more confidence on offense than it did earlier in the season. Quarterback CJ Bailey has looked increasingly composed, Will Wilson has given the Wolfpack another weapon to lean on, and Harvey Dyson III has helped the defense keep things moving in the right direction as the program has steadied itself after an uneven start.

The improvement is real enough to make this a tougher test for Wake Forest than it might have seemed a few weeks ago, especially with NC State producing with more consistency and balance. Even so, the Wolfpack know the challenge in front of them is not just about keeping up offensively, because their chances against Wake Forest will also depend on whether they can tighten up the basics on defense and play with cleaner execution.

NC State Faces A Pressure Test After Its Early Season Collapse

Wake Forests next ACC test comes with a familiar kind of intrigue, the sort that tends to follow NC State when expectations have already started to wobble. The matchup has plenty of attention around it because the Wolfpack are trying to steady themselves after an uneven opening stretch, and this one arrives as part of a wider weekend slate built around bold predictions and possible surprises across the country.

For Wake Forest, it is the kind of game that can reveal a lot about where the Deacons really stand in the league pecking order. NC State brings the pressure of needing a response, while Wake Forest gets a chance to poke at that urgency and make the contest uncomfortable. The preview leaves the result hanging, but the setup suggests this is exactly the kind of meeting where one teams early-season problems could become the others opportunity. [Read more 🡒]
