The ACC has released the men's basketball schedule for each of its teams. Duke's schedule tips off against UNC-Greensboro in Durham on November 13. Duke then hosts the first round of the NIT Season Tip-Off over November 16 and 17, with Coastal Carolina, Elon, and Charlotte also competing in Durham. Duke is the number one seed in the tournament, with UCONN, LSU, and Arizona State rounding out the top four seeds of the 16-team competition.

Other preseason opponents include Radford, St. John's, Gardner-Webb, Long Beach State, and Pennsylvania, all coming to Cameron Indoor Stadium, while Duke will travel to Wisconsin and meet Gonzaga at Madison Square Garden on December 19.

The ACC season begins on January 3 versus Clemson in Durham. Duke's home-and-home matchups include Clemson, Boston College, Georgia Tech, Maryland, and of course, North Carolina. Duke travels to Chapel Hill on February 10, and hosts the Tar Heels at Cameron Indoor on March 6 to close out the regular season.

Interspersed in their conference schedule, Duke will travel to Chicago and Washington, D.C. to face Iowa State and Georgetown respectively, and will host Tulsa as their last non-conference opponent of the season.
