Rivalries & Top Games to Attend
Wake Forest vs Duke
Rival Team: Duke Blue Devils
The rivalry between Wake Forest and Duke may get overshadowed by the Blue Devil’s rivalry with the Tar Heels, but the Duke-Wake Forest rivalry is actually the older of the two.

Wake Forest vs North Carolina
Rival Team: UNC Tar Heels
Like the Demon Deacons rivalries with the other two Tobacco Road schools, there is no love lost when Wake Forest and North Carolina play. There are a lot of bragging rights on the line when the two nearby schools meet, so if you want to see the The Joel buzz then get tickets to a Wake Forest-North Carolina game.
Wake Forest vs NC State
Rival Team: NC State Wolfpack
Similar to the other Tobacco Road schools, Wake Forest has a rivalry with nearby NC State as well.
