DURHAM, N.C. – Duke Director of Swimming and Diving Brian Barnes unveiled Tuesday afternoon the Blue Devils' swimming and diving schedule for the upcoming 2026-27 campaign.
Â
The schedule is highlighted by three home meets, seven contests in North Carolina and six dual meets against men's and women's squads that finished in the top 25 of the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) rankings.
Â
HOME SWEET HOME
The Blue Devils are slated to host three dual meets at the Taishoff Aquatics Pavilion during the regular season, starting with the official home opener Oct. 24 against Virginia Tech. Duke returns to Durham for a two-day meet Nov. 6-7 against Northwestern, with the home finale taking place Jan. 29-30 when the Blue Devils host Tennessee on Senior Day.
Â
LOCAL ACTION
Duke remains close to home for the majority of the season with seven of the 10 regular season meets being held in the state of North Carolina. The intrasquad Blue/White Week (Sept. 13-20) offers a final preseason tuneup for the Blue Devils before the team officially dives into the 2026-27 slate with a pair of dual-squad road meets at Davidson (Oct. 2) and North Carolina (Oct. 16). Duke caps the regular season Feb. 3-5 at the UNC Invite in Chapel Hill.
Â
POSTSEASON COMPETITION
The ACC Swimming & Diving Championship returns to Greensboro, with the conference meet set for Feb. 16-20 at the Greensboro Aquatic Center. NCAA Diving Zones will be held March 7-10 in Knoxville, Tennessee, with the NCAA Women's Championships (March 17-20) and NCAA Men's Championships (March 24-27) held at the Lee & Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center in Austin, Texas, to wrap up the season.
