ACC title game set for Orlando's Camping World Stadium

College Football

The ACC football title game has been moved to Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, the conference announced Thursday.

Kickoff will be Dec. 3 at either 7:45 p.m. on ESPN or 8 p.m. on ABC.

The ACC pulled its championship game from Charlotte because of North Carolina's controversial House Bill 2 law, which limits the legal protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

ACC officials visited Orlando on Tuesday and Wednesday as part of the process in determining where to relocate the conference's title game, sources told ESPN.

Since the ACC's announcement two weeks ago that it was moving the championship game, sources said Orlando had been the prohibitive favorite to host the event.

One of the early obstacles for Orlando was a conflict with the Florida's high school state football championships (Class 4A-1A), scheduled for Dec. 2 and Dec. 3 at Camping World Stadium. Those games are expected to be moved to the following week, a source told ESPN's Andrea Adelson.

The state of Florida will host the ACC title game for the sixth time and the first since 2009 in Tampa.
