The ACC has announced that the Clemson vs. Virginia on Saturday, October 19th will kick off at 12:00 pm ET. The game will be televised on the ACC Network.
The matchup will take place at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina. This will be the Tigers’ second noon kickoff of the season at their home venue.
The kickoff time and television designation were announced by the ACC offices today. The start time is locked in, and Clemson fans can plan accordingly for the early kickoff.
While many marquee games are scheduled for primetime slots, a noon kickoff provides an opportunity for high viewership on the ACC Network. It also allows the game to be completed before the late afternoon slate of contests from around the country.
In addition to the important conference matchup, the game will hold special significance for two other reasons. It will be celebrated as Clemson+ Day, recognizing Clemson’s subscription streaming service that provides exclusive content to fans. The university will also recognize breast cancer survivors as part of its annual Breast Cancer Awareness Game. Players will don pink accessories and the athletic department will promote breast cancer research initiatives.
Clemson will aim to protect their 37-game home winning streak against the visiting Cavaliers. The Tigers are pursuing another ACC title and this game could have significant implications in that race.
With kickoff time finalized, all that’s left is for the Tigers and Cavaliers to square off on October 19th. Fans can catch all the action starting at high noon on the ACC Network.
