On Tuesday night, the ACC announced the conference’s schedule for the 2024-2025 season, giving the Clemson Tigers their set schedule for the year.
The team will look to get back to the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back seasons, and it most certainly will not be easy, especially in the final games of the season, which includes three days between playing the Duke Blue Devils and the North Carolina Tar Heels.
Clemson will begin its season on Nov. 4 against Charleston Southern, and then two other games, against Saint Francis and Eastern Kentucky, before hitting the road to begin its away schedule.
Their out-of-conference schedule includes a trip to Daytona Beach, Florida for the Sunshine Slam, where Clemson will begin against San Francisco and then face the winner or loser of a matchup between Penn State and Fordham. Those games will take place on Nov. 25 and 26.
Before a trip to the Sunshine State, they will go out west to face Boise State in the team’s rematch of last season at Littlejohn Coliseum.
From there, the team will begin December at home against the Kentucky Wildcats, under new head coach Mark Pope. It will be the Tigers’ ACC/SEC Challenge game, and it will take place at 9:30 PM on ESPN.
The team will finish out its out-of-conference schedule with an 11:00 AM matchup against Memphis at Littlejohn Coliseum on Dec. 14, and the Tigers will then travel to Colonial Life Arena in Colombia to face the South Carolina Gamecocks three days later.
To begin ACC play, the Tigers will travel to Coral Gables to face Miami on Dec. 7 before the Memphis and South Carolina games. They will also play newly-added ACC teams, Stanford and California, Jan. 1 and 4, respectively, to open the 2025 calendar year.
In terms of the ACC blue bloods, the Tigers face them both in three days, both at home. The team begins with Duke on Feb. 8 and then faces the Tar Heels on Feb. 10.
Other interesting games include a trip to Dallas to face SMU on Feb. 22 and another to Charlottesville on March 1. The team will close out the regular season at home against Virginia Tech on March 8.
Head coach Brad Brownell and his squad have put up solid performances in conference play over the last two seasons, putting up great resumes while being selected as the No. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The team is coming off of its first Elite Eight appearance since 1980, their second in school history.
