(7-5-26) 2026 will be the last season for the ACAC with just seven members. This is good news for athletic directors who had to fill a football open conference date due to the uneven number of members with a non-conference game in weeks 3 thru 9. In 2027 Concordia will become the 8th ACAC member and this will eliminate the need for scouring yearly for an opponent.

The schedule below are the games scheduled (week 3 thru week 9) this year to cover the ACAC schedule. A good bet (not verified) that the schedule below for 2027 might be the one that Concordia will be plugging into for their first ACAC season.

  • 9-4-26 Adams Central at Tippecanoe Valley
  • 9-11-26 Southern Wells at Wes-Del
  • 9-18-26 Blackhawk Christian at South Adams
  • 9-25-26 Heritage at Blackhwak Christian
  • 10-2-26 Woodlan at Tippecanoe Valley
  • 10-9-26 Lapel at Jay County
  • 10-16-26 Blackhawk Christian at Bluffton

The last time Concordia played an ACAC team was Woodlan in a playoff game in 2022 (Oct. 21st) and the Cadets won that game 27-21…before that they beat Heritage in 2014 in the playoffs 27-14.

The big loser in the switch of the ACAC from 7 to 8 members is Blackhawk Christian. The Braves, who are independents, are scheduled to slot into three games this season with.South Adams, Heritage and Bluffton, they also will play Southern Wells in week 2.

Tippecanoe Valley is scheduled to play 2 ACAC members…. Adams Central and Woodlan this season.

Did you know…

This year Concordia had hoped to reschedule Summit Athletic Conference games with Homestead and Carroll, based on both teams being able to find an available opponent.

In week 9 on October 16th…Homestead will play Warren Central, Concordia will play Calumet.

Carroll and Concordia, according to schedules on their web site, have not found and opponent for week 3 games on September 4th.
