The Hokies' two-plays in a 20-game schedule are Miami, Virginia, Louisville, Notre Dame, Wake Forest, and Florida State. According to KenPom's preseason ratings, those are the Nos. 9, 3, 2, 13, 15, and 4 teams in the conference. For the second year in a row, the Hokies have plenty of games against the expected top and bottom of the league, and few against the middle.

VT also has non-conference games scheduled against Temple, USF, and Penn State, with the first two coming in a tournament at Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut, and the game against the Nittany Lions part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

VT slumped to a finish last year, but this should be a totally remade Hokies squad. Gone are forwards PJ Horne, Landers Nolley, and Isaiah Wilkins, while head coach Mike Young built his 2020-21 roster with a talented incoming recruiting class and grad-transfers Cartier Diarra and Cordell Pemsl.
