With the 2025 college football season in the books, the Clemson Tigers and head coach Dabo Swinney will look to get back on track after finishing with a disappointing 7-6 record.

Looking back at the Tigers’ 2025 season, it was clear that the program failed to reach the high expectations set in the offseason. The once highly-touted program suffered multiple brutal losses during the stretch, while also maintaining a horrific 5-5 record in conference play.

Now, fans can finally turn the page on the dreadful season and shift their focus toward the next year, as Clemson officially released the team’s 2026 schedule on Monday night.

Here is the official schedule for the Tigers’ 2026 college football season:

*Subject to change

Clemson will have their work cut out for themselves to kick off the new season, as the program will travel to LSU in a highly-anticipated rematch from the 2025 season.

Swinney’s squad was unable to defeat the Tigers at home last season, but with LSU’s recent coaching change to former Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin, the Tigers could find a way to catch the SEC powerhouse off guard to start next season.

Another key matchup to mark on your calendars will be on Oct 3, as Clemson is set to host the Miami Hurricanes.

Led by head coach Mario Cristobal, the Hurricanes will surely be seeking revenge after falling short in the 2025 College Football National Championship to the Indiana Hoosiers. This also marks the first time that both teams will face off against each other since 2023, as Miami managed to defeat the Tigers in double overtime, 28-20.

While the program’s contests against two of the top teams in the nation headline next year’s schedule, one game that will fly under the radar is Clemson’s home matchup against the Virginia Tech Hokies at home on Oct. 24.

The Hokies are coming off a brutal 3-9 season, but the recent addition of former Penn State head coach James Franklin could turn the entire program into a legitimate threat in the ACC conference.
