CLEMSON — Clemson’s upcoming home-and-home football series against the University of Georgia could be tweaked.

Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks told reporters Friday after an athletic board meeting at the Ritz-Carlton Reynolds in Greensboro, N.C., that Georgia and Clemson are in talks about the 2029 and 2030 games. At the moment, the 2029 game is scheduled in Clemson for Sept. 15, while the 2030 game is scheduled to be played in Athens, Ga., on Aug. 31.

“I’ve got to get through some other stuff first, but [Clemson AD] Graham [Neff] and I have been in talks and we’ll see how that evolves over time, but right now my primary focus is on the Florida State game and where that game is going to be played,” Brooks said according to a report in the Athens Banner-Herald.

Brooks later said the Clemson games could “Possibly” be moved and “Everything’s on the table right now with that.”

The Clemson Insider reached out to Neff through a Clemson spokesperson, and we were told there is “Nothing to share on it at this point.”

Sources told TCI that Clemson’s conversations with Georgia at the moment “are cursory conversations” where they are considering strategy for NIL dollars, as well as media dollars. Think Duke’s exclusive deal with Amazon, as an example.

Though moving the Georgia games could potentially be lucrative to both schools, a source told us Clemson still wants games on campus, such as the current Notre Dame series and those other dates with Georgia and Oklahoma.

However, with the landscape of college football changing at a rapid pace, especially with NIL dollars, one source said Clemson “must consider all options given NIL strategy.”  

Georgia and Florida State are looking at a range of cities to play a neutral site game in 2028 after cancelling their home-and-home series. The two were scheduled to play at home-and-home series in 2027 and 2028.

Both schools agreed to cancel the home-and-home series to accommodate ACC and SEC mandated nine-game conference schedules.

Clemson is in a similar boat, as it also has a 12-year home-and-home series scheduled to begin with Notre Dame in 2027, as well as home-and-home matchups with Georgia in 2032 and 2033 and Oklahoma in 2035 and 2036.

The Clemson-Georgia series is one of the more natural rivalries in college football, as both campuses are just 70 miles apart. The Bulldogs lead the all-time series 44-18-4 and has won eight of the last nine meetings dating back to 1991.

The two Southern powers used to play every year before Georgia had to drop the year-to-year series due to SEC schedule mandates. The border rivals met annually from 1897 to 1916, and again from 1962 to 1987 (aside from 1966 and 1972 seasons).

Clemson and Georgia also played 12 times from 1919 through the 1955 season.
