Rankings from AP poll

The 2019–20 Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball season began with practices in October 2019, followed by the start of the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season in November. Conference play started in late December 2019 and concluded in March with the 2020 ACC men's basketball tournament at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.[1] The season marks 66th season of Atlantic Coast Conference basketball.

The post season was cut short due to the COVID-19 outbreak.[2] On March 12, the NCAA announced the tournament would be cancelled, along with all remaining winter and spring championships.[3] The ACC tournament was cancelled after the second round and the NCAA tournament and NIT were both cancelled before they began.

Notes:
The week 2 Coaches Poll was released on the same date as the week 3 AP poll. No Coaches poll was released on the date when the week 2 AP Poll was released.
The AP poll does not release a final poll after the NCAA tournament, where as the Coaches Poll does.
Due to the cancellation of the NCAA and NIT Tournaments, the Coaches Poll did not release a final poll.

Postseason[edit]

ACC tournament[edit]

Due to ongoing concerns with the COVID-19 pandemic, officials announced that, initially, the tournament would only be played in front of essential tournament personnel, limited school administrators and student-athlete guests, broadcast television, and credentialed media members present, starting with the quarterfinals; however, shortly before the tipoff of the quarterfinal matchup between Florida State and Clemson, the ACC announced the tournament was canceled and Florida State, the regular season champions, would receive the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.[46][47]

Consensus All-Americans
First Team Second Team
None Vernon Carey Jr. – Duke

To earn "consensus" status, a player must win honors based on a point system computed from the four different all-America teams. The point system consists of three points for first team, two points for second team and one point for third team. No honorable mention or fourth team or lower are used in the computation. The top five totals plus ties are first team and the next five plus ties are second team.[48]
