The on-then-off then on-again University of Virginia-Virginia Tech football game has been scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 12, in Blacksburg.

It will mark the latest the ACC rivals have ever met on the gridiron, with temperatures possibly being in the 30s or below.

No kickoff time has been set and will likely be determined by television.

The rivalry matchup originally was set for Sept. 19, but was postponed because of an outbreak of coronavirus on the Tech campus.

As it is, Tech will open at 8 p.m. this Saturday, Sept. 26, at home against North Carolina State University, while U.Va. will play host to Duke University this Saturday in Charlottesville.

The Division I FBS schedule for Virginia schools got underway last Saturday with Liberty University scoring a 30-24 victory at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green.
