The Duke–Wake Forest football rivalry is an American college football rivalry game between the Duke Blue Devils and Wake Forest Demon Deacons.[1][2][3][4]

History

[edit]

This rivalry started due to the schools' historical religious affiliations and close proximity to one another within the state of North Carolina (Wake Forest University was originally located in the town of Wake Forest before moving to Winston-Salem in 1956).[5][2] Duke was originally known as Trinity College and the athletic teams were known as the Methodists,[6] while Wake Forest's athletic teams were known at the time as the Baptists.[7] The series record currently stands at 61–41–2 in favor of Duke through the completion of the 2024 season.[8][9] Duke won the most recent matchup in 2023 by a score of 24–21. With the exception of 1943 due to World War II, the 1966 season and 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these teams have played each other in consecutive years uninterrupted since 1921, one of the most-played rivalries in college football with the intensity not skipping a beat.[10] From 2005 to 2022, Duke and Wake Forest resided in opposite divisions within the ACC with the matchup protected as an annual rivalry.[11][12] With the ACC ending the divisional format after the 2022 season in favor of an arrangement that calls for three annual conference opponents with five rotating, the four North Carolina schools were designated as all three of each other's annual conference opponents, thus continuing the annual rivalry between the Blue Devils and Demon Deacons for the foreseeable future.[13][14]
