GAME-BY-GAME <\/p>\n
SATURDAY, SEPT. 5 \u2022 AT LSU \u2022 TIGER STADIUM, BATON ROUGE, LA.<\/strong><\/p>\n Clemson and LSU faced one another at neutral sites in postseason play four times before the two sets of Tigers met in Clemson in the 2025 season opener for their first regular season, on-campus meeting in series history. This season, Clemson will make its first trip to Baton Rouge on Saturday, Sept. 5, marking Clemson\u2019s first time opening a season in an SEC venue since opening its 2016 national championship season with a 19-13 win at Auburn.<\/p>\n SATURDAY, SEPT. 12 \u2022 VS. GEORGIA SOUTHERN \u2022 MEMORIAL STADIUM, CLEMSON, S.C.<\/strong><\/p>\n Clemson will make its home debut a week later when the Tigers host the Georgia Southern Eagles on Saturday, Sept. 12. The two programs met for the first time in 2018 when the second-ranked Tigers compiled 595 yards and used a 21-point second quarter to earn a 38-7 victory amid Clemson\u2019s 15-0 national championship campaign.<\/p>\n SATURDAY, SEPT. 19 \u2022 VS. NORTH CAROLINA \u2022 MEMORIAL STADIUM, CLEMSON, S.C.<\/strong><\/p>\n Clemson will open ACC play against the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday, Sept. 19. Last season, Clemson defeated North Carolina, 38-10, in what was only the second matchup in college football history of a head coach with multiple FBS national championships (Dabo Swinney) and a multi-time Super Bowl champion head coach (Bill Belichick). North Carolina\u2019s last visit to Clemson came in November 2023, when Clemson held 2025 NFL MVP candidate Drake Maye to the lowest passing efficiency rating of his collegiate career in a 31-20 Tiger win.<\/p>\n FRIDAY, SEPT. 25 \u2022 AT CAL \u2022 CALIFORNIA MEMORIAL STADIUM, BERKELEY, CALIF.<\/strong><\/p>\n Clemson will play a conference game on the West Coast for the first time in school history on Friday, Sept. 25, when the Tigers face the Cal Golden Bears at California Memorial Stadium. The game will be Clemson\u2019s fourth all-time in the Golden State, joining road games at Pacific in 1951 and USC in 1966 in addition to Clemson\u2019s victory over Alabama in Santa Clara to secure the national championship for the 2018 season. It will be the second all-time meeting between Clemson and Cal; the teams\u2019 lone previous meeting came in the Citrus Bowl on New Year\u2019s Day in 1992.<\/p>\n SATURDAY, OCT. 3 \u2022 VS. MIAMI (FLA.) \u2022 MEMORIAL STADIUM, CLEMSON, S.C.<\/strong><\/p>\n Memorial Stadium will host the two most recent ACC programs to qualify for the College Football Playoff when seven-time College Football Playoff participant (and two-time CFP champion) Clemson hosts last year\u2019s national runner-up Miami (Fla.) on Saturday, Oct. 3.\u00a0The all-time series between the Tigers and Hurricanes is deadlocked at 7-7, but Clemson holds a 6-3 advantage in the series since Miami joined the ACC prior to the 2004 season.<\/p>\n SATURDAY, OCT. 17 \u2022 VS. CHARLESTON SOUTHERN \u2022 MEMORIAL STADIUM, CLEMSON, S.C.<\/strong><\/p>\n After an open date on Oct. 10, Clemson will pause conference play for a midseason meeting with the Charleston Southern Buccaneers on Saturday, Oct. 17. The game against a Football Championship Subdivision foe is part of Clemson\u2019s annual non-conference scheduling philosophy of facing two power conference opponents, a Group of Five conference opponent and an in-state FCS squad. Clemson is 40-0 against FCS opponents since Division I split in 1978, winning 39 of the 40 games by double digits.<\/p>\n SATURDAY, OCT. 24 \u2022\u00a0VS. VIRGINIA TECH \u2022 MEMORIAL STADIUM, CLEMSON, S.C.<\/strong><\/p>\n Virginia Tech will make its first trip to Clemson since 2012 when the Tigers host the Hokies on Saturday, Oct. 24. Clemson is 6-0 against Virginia Tech during Dabo Swinney\u2019s head coaching tenure dating to his first matchups with the Hokies in 2011 when Clemson secured two victories against highly ranked Virginia Tech squads, one on the road and one in the 2011 ACC Championship Game.<\/p>\n SATURDAY, OCT. 31 \u2022\u00a0AT FLORIDA STATE \u2022 DOAK CAMPBELL STADIUM, TALLAHASSEE, FLA.<\/strong><\/p>\n Clemson will visit Tallahassee on Saturday, Oct. 31, as the Tigers will seek to extend their current road winning streak at Doak Campbell Stadium to five games when they face the Florida State Seminoles. A victory in the Halloween contest would make Clemson only the third program ever to win five or more consecutive road games at Florida State, joining Florida (six from 1966-76) and Miami (five from 1957-77). Clemson is 9-1 in its last 10 games overall against the Seminoles, including its 4-0 mark in Tallahassee in that span.<\/p>\n FRIDAY, NOV. 6 -OR- SATURDAY, NOV. 7 \u2022 AT SYRACUSE \u2022 JMA WIRELESS DOME, SYRACUSE, N.Y.<\/strong><\/p>\n Clemson and Syracuse will square off for the 13th time in the last 14 years on either Friday, Nov. 6 or Saturday, Nov. 7, when the former Atlantic Division foes face one another at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse. The contest is subject to flex scheduling; the chosen game date of the two options will be announced by the ACC at a later time. Clemson holds a 10-3 edge in its all-time series with Syracuse, including a 5-1 mark on the road.<\/p>\n SATURDAY, NOV. 14 \u2022 VS. GEORGIA TECH \u2022 MEMORIAL STADIUM, CLEMSON, S.C.<\/strong><\/p>\n Last September, Georgia Tech defeated Clemson in Atlanta on a dramatic 55-yard walk-off field goal to snap Clemson\u2019s nine-game winning streak in its series with the Yellow Jackets. On Saturday, Nov. 14, Georgia Tech will make a return trip to Death Valley, where Clemson has won each of its last eight games against the Yellow Jackets, dating to 2010. It will be Georgia Tech\u2019s first trip to Clemson since 2023, when four different Clemson freshmen picked off quarterback Haynes King in a 42-21 Clemson win.<\/p>\n SATURDAY, NOV. 21 \u2022 AT DUKE \u2022 WALLACE WADE STADIUM, DURHAM, N.C.<\/strong><\/p>\n Clemson will attempt to improve its all-time record against Duke to 38-18-1 on Saturday, Nov. 21 when the Tigers face the Blue Devils at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, N.C. Last season, Clemson dropped a 46-45 heartbreaker to the eventual ACC champion Blue Devils, as a fourth-down penalty called on Clemson in the final minute extended Duke\u2019s drive that culminated with a game-winning touchdown run and two-point conversion. Clemson is 8-3 against reigning ACC champions since 2003, including a 5-2 mark during Dabo Swinney\u2019s head coaching tenure.<\/p>\n SATURDAY, NOV. 28 \u2022 VS. SOUTH CAROLINA \u2022 MEMORIAL STADIUM, CLEMSON, S.C.<\/strong><\/p>\n Palmetto State bragging rights will once again be on the line on Saturday, Nov. 28, when the Tigers host the South Carolina Gamecocks at Memorial Stadium. Clemson has won nine of the last 11 games in the series and has outscored the Gamecocks by an average margin of 18.3 points per game in that span. South Carolina earned victories in its last two trips to Clemson by a combined four points, but the Tigers hold a 19-12-1 all-time edge at Death Valley amid their 74-44-4 all-time advantage in the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GAME-BY-GAME SATURDAY, SEPT. 5 \u2022 AT LSU \u2022 TIGER STADIUM, BATON ROUGE, LA.
