Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the format of the 2020 tournament changed multiple times. Originally, the 2020 ACC Tournament was to only feature 4 teams with all matches played at Sahlen's Stadium to create an "isolation zone" (similar to the 2020 NBA Bubble) to minimize the spread of the pandemic. The semifinals were to be played on November 6, 2020, with the final was to be played on November 8, 2020.
On September 4, 2020, the format again changed, expanding the tournament from four to eight teams. The quarterfinals to be played on November 10, the semifinals on November 13, and the championship game on November 15.
