List of Atlantic Coast Conference champions

The Atlantic Coast Conference awards championships in 28 sports—13 men's and 15 women's (women's gymnastics was added for the 2023-24 school year with the addition of Clemson). Nationally, fencing (which was relaunched as an official conference sport in 2014–15 after having been absent since 1980) is a coeducational sport, offering one team title since 1990, while ACC titles are awarded to the men's and women's teams. In all sports except volleyball, champions are determined by a post-season game, tournament, or meet. In football, the teams with the best conference records play in the ACC Championship Game for the conference title. The volleyball title is awarded based on regular-season play.

Summary
Through May 26, 2024

Baseball
The ACC Baseball champion was determined by regular season finish from 1954 until 1972 and in 1979. The ACC Tournament has determined the champion since 1973. All current conference members field baseball teams except SMU and Syracuse. Both schools were without baseball for more than 40 years before joining the ACC—Syracuse, a member since 2013, last sponsored baseball in the 1972 season, and SMU, which joined in 2024, last sponsored baseball in the 1980 season.

Men's basketball
All 18 full members sponsor men's basketball.

All full members sponsor women's basketball. The ACC began sponsoring women's basketball in the 1977–78 season.

Fencing
Four schools—Boston College, Duke, North Carolina, and Notre Dame—relaunched ACC fencing in the 2014–15 school year after the sport had been absent from the conference since 1980. Stanford, which joins in 2024–25, also sponsors the sport. Fencing was a men's sport during the first era of ACC fencing from 1971 to 1980. Today, ACC fencing is a coeducational sport, with teams fielding separate men's and women's squads and all bouts involving a single sex. Although the NCAA Fencing Championships award only a single team title, the ACC Fencing Championships award separate men's and women's team titles.

Field hockey
Nine schools—Boston College, California, Duke, Louisville, North Carolina, Stanford, Syracuse, Virginia, and Wake Forest—will sponsor women's field hockey in the upcoming 2024 season.

Football
The ACC football champion was determined based on regular season finish from 1953 until 2004. In 2005, the conference split into two divisions, and the division winners met in the ACC Championship Game through the 2022 season. The football divisions were eliminated in 2020 and after the 2022 season. Notre Dame has never been an ACC member in football, except for the 2020 season on a temporary basis due to the COVID-19 pandemic; that season, they played in (but lost) the football conference championship. They have otherwise remained independent but have a yearly 5-game scheduling agreement with the ACC.

The ACC sponsored women's gymnastics for one season, 1984. Duke discontinued their program following the season, and the conference stopped sponsoring the sport until renewing the competition in the 2024 season. The conference initially planned to resume sponsoring gymnastics once Pittsburgh joined in 2013–14, but backed away from those plans once Maryland announced its 2014 departure for the Big Ten.

From 1954 until 1961, the champion was determined by regular season competition.

Starting with the 1965 season, the champion has been determined by the championship meet. Fourteen of the 18 member institutions compete in men's swimming and diving. Miami currently competes in diving only, and Clemson, Syracuse, and Wake Forest do not compete in swimming or diving.
