The Clemson Athletic Department, in conjunction with the alumni association, student affairs, IPTAY and other campus groups, today announced special gameday designations for the 2019 football season. The 2019 season will mark Clemson’s 14th consecutive year hosting seven home games at Memorial Stadium.
Clemson will open its season at home on Thursday, Aug. 29, hosting Georgia Tech for the first game ever broadcast on the soon-to-launch ACC Network. The evening has been designated as a National Championship Celebration, honoring Clemson for its perfect 15-0 season in 2018 before kicking off the 2019 campaign.

On Saturday, Oct. 26 against Boston College, Clemson will renew a tradition that dates to 1922 when it hosts homecoming. The day will also serve as Football Reunion Day, as the program will welcome back and honor members of its anniversary teams.
Clemson will conduct its annual Military Appreciation Day and Purple Out on Saturday, Nov. 2, against Wofford. The Tigers will conclude their home slate on Saturday, Nov. 16 against Wake Forest, honoring the team’s seniors on Senior Day and school legends with induction on Hall of Fame Day.

Move over Alabama, Clemson is the new King of College Football. In our new magazine “Little Ole Clemson”: The Best “Little” Dynasty Ever, we examine not just the 2018 team’s run to being “the best ever” but examine the last four seasons and how Dabo Swinney turned Clemson into the new dynasty of college football. We also take a look at the role former athletic director Terry Don Phillips played. We go behind the scenes at the Tigers’ run to a second national championship in three seasons and the previous three national championship runs. It also features stories on the Power Rangers, the 2018 senior class, high quality photos and much, much more.
