Clemson is only days away from the offseason, but it’s never too early to anticipate next season.
In fact, the majority of Clemson’s 2023 schedule has been finalized — and has been for some time. The Tigers’ conference opponents were revealed this summer as part of the ACC’s new schedule model. There’s also been a recent change to the Tigers’ non-conference roster for next season.
Here’s a refresher of what we know about the Tigers schedule for next season:
The Tigers will likely start over with a conference opponent. Who that will be has yet to be determined, but Clemson already has its four non-conference games on the schedule, including two scheduled for the second and third weekends of September. So unless one of those games is brought forward, the Tigers will face an ACC opponent on the season opener.
It would be the second time in five years that Clemson has opened consecutive seasons with an ACC opponent. Clemson, which beat Georgia Tech to start this season, will look to extend its championship-opening eight-game winning streak, the longest conference-opening winning streak in program history.
Clemson trades one FCS foe in the state for another. The Tigers were originally scheduled to play Wofford during the non-conference portion of his schedule, but after the Terriers recently added Pitt to their 23-man schedule, Clemson replaced them with Charleston Southern.
CSU will travel to Memorial Stadium on Sept. 9 while Wofford’s game will be postponed to a later year, Clemson athletic director Graham Neff recently told The Clemson Insider. CSU joins Florida Atlantic (Sept. 16), Notre Dame (Nov. 4) and South Carolina (Nov. 25) on Clemson’s non-conference schedule.
The Tigers divisional slate has disappeared. The ACC eliminated the Atlantic and Coastal divisions starting next season, meaning the two teams with the highest winning percentage will now play in the ACC Championship Game instead of the division winners.
It also means a new 3-5-5 scheduling format that permanently keeps only three conference opponents on Clemson’s schedule and rotates five new league opponents to the conference’s eight-game slate each year. The Tigers will continue to play Georgia Tech, Florida State and NC State on a yearly basis, and Syracuse and Wake Forest are old Atlantic Division foes that remain on the schedule next season.
But North Carolina, Miami and Duke are new opponents rotating on the Tigers’ fall conference schedule. Clemson will travel to Duke, Miami, NC State and Syracuse while hosting Georgia Tech, Florida State, Wake Forest and North Carolina. The dates for these games will be determined later this year.
