Clemson are the defending champions of the Atlantic Conference and the Virginia are the defending champions of the Coastal Conference. Wake Forest are the defending ACC tournament Champions.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the season has been significantly modified from previous seasons. The teams were reorganized geographically, and will play a six-game conference season. The season will begin on September 18, 2020, instead of August 28, 2020 and conclude on November 7, 2020. A modified spring season was also played due to the pandemic.
After 33 years as head coach, Ed Kelly retired following the 2019 season. Bob Thompson was hired as the head coach for Boston College on January 23, 2020.[1]
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the season
Further information: Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on association football
On September 4, 2020, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced the fall Olympic sports schedule, which included the schedule for men's soccer. The men's soccer season will begin on September 18, 2020, instead of the originally planned August 28, and conclude on November 8. The season will culminate with the 2020 ACC Men's Soccer tournament, which will be reduced to eight teams for the 2020 season only.
On January 26, 2021, it was announced that a spring portion of the 2020 season would be played. Each team will play five matches in their division. Divisions would return to the Atlantic and Coastal division, as in previous years. The winner of the Coastal will play the winner of the Atlantic on April 13. The winner of that match will play Clemson (winner of the fall season) on April 17 to determine the automatic qualifier for the NCAA tournament.[2]

Main article: 2021 MLS SuperDraft
The 2021 MLS SuperDraft was held on January 21, 2021. The Atlantic Coast Conference had a record total of twenty five players selected, with twelve first round selections. This eclipsed the previous record of eighteen total selections, set twice previously. The twelve first round picks surpassed the previous record of eight first round picks, set in 2016, 2018, and 2020. The twenty five players selected represented one third of the players taken in the draft. The ACC also had five players selected in the first five picks, a first in draft history.[26] Also of note, at least one player was selected from a team that played during the 2020 season. Only Boston College did not have a player selected and Boston College elected to suspend their season due to COVID-19.

Further information: Homegrown Player Rule (Major League Soccer)
The Homegrown Player Rule is a Major League Soccer program that allows MLS teams to sign local players from their own development academies directly to MLS first team rosters. Before the creation of the rule in 2008,[27] every player entering Major League Soccer had to be assigned through one of the existing MLS player allocation processes, such as the MLS SuperDraft.
To place a player on its homegrown player list, making him eligible to sign as a homegrown player, players must have resided in that club's home territory and participated in the club's youth development system for at least one year.[28] Players can play college soccer and still be eligible to sign a homegrown contract.
