The Atlantic Coast Conference announced its 2026 football schedule on Monday evening, unveiling Clemson’s full 2026 regular season slate.

Clemson will open the season in the national spotlight when Clemson travels to LSU for a marquee non-conference matchup at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La., on Saturday, Sept. 5.

Clemson hopes to bounce back from a 7-6 record in 2025, the second-worst season in head coach Dabo Swinney’s full 17 seasons. After a 3-5 start, Clemson won its last four regular season games in 2025 as the program became bowl eligible for a 27th consecutive season.

The Tigers plan to have their annual spring game at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 28.

Clemson’s full 2026 schedule is listed below. All kickoff times are to be announced.
