Clemson Tigers Announce 2026 Schedule

Clemson Tigers will face Syracuse on November 7 and Duke on November 20, as announced by the ACC on May 15. The Tigers were initially scheduled to play Syracuse on November 6 or 7 and Duke on November 21. Derrian Carter, who covers Clemson athletics for The Greenville News and the USA TODAY Network, reports that Clemson will play eight conference games next season due to contractual obligations and scheduling balance. And Clemson's non-conference games include matchups against LSU, Georgia Southern, Charleston Southern, and South Carolina. But the Tigers will face a tough road schedule, playing Cal, Duke, Florida State, and Syracuse away from home. So the 2026 schedule will be a challenging one for Clemson, with key games against North Carolina, Miami, and Virginia Tech at home. Clemson played Syracuse last season and lost 34-21 at home, and they will look to bounce back on the road at JMA Wireless Dome in 2026. The Tigers also played Duke last season, losing 46-45 at home, and will face the Blue Devils on the road at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, North Carolina, in 2026. The 2026 schedule features a number of exciting matchups, including a game against LSU on September 5 and a matchup against South Carolina on November 28.
