The Cavaliers had their most successful season to date under Elliott, reaching 11 wins in a season for the first time in program history. Included in their 8–1 start to the season (their best since 1990) was a seven-game winning streak, their longest since 2007. It was the first time in program history that UVA started 5–0 in conference play, a start that included a 46–38 double-overtime home win over No. 8 Florida State on September 26 for their seventh all-time win against an AP Top 10 opponent, their first since 2023, and third such win against FSU. The Cavaliers concluded a 7–1 season in the ACC with a 27–7 home blowout victory over rival Virginia Tech for only their third victory over the Hokies since 1999 and first since 2019. With these successes, the Cavaliers achieved bowl eligibility for the first time since 2021 and played in their second ACC Championship Game. However, with a chance to make it into the College Football Playoff with a win, the Cavaliers were upset by the Duke Blue Devils 27–20 in overtime, allowing Sun Belt champion James Madison to get in instead.^[1]^[2] They were selected to face Missouri in the Gator Bowl, which they won 13–7, in the process setting the all-time program win record at 11.

Virginia had its first appearances in an AP, Coaches, or College Football Playoff Top 25 poll since 2019, with its initial No. 14 ranking being its highest since the inception of the CFP in 2014. They finished a season ranked in the AP poll for the first time since 2004.

Although both NC State and Virginia are ACC members, this game did not count in the conference standings. The schools scheduled it as a non-conference game because they otherwise meet every two or three years due to it not being a protected matchup.
