The ACC has announced a kickoff time and TV channel for next weekend’s ranked conference matchup between the Clemson and Pitt football teams.

The No. 19 Tigers will kick off at noon against the No. 23 Panthers next Saturday, Nov. 16, the conference announced Monday.

ESPN will broadcast the game from Acrisure Stadium, which is also home to the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers.

Clemson (6-2, 5-1 ACC) dropped its first ACC game at home to unranked Louisville last weekend and visits Virginia Tech (5-4, 3-2 ACC) this weekend.

Pitt (7-1, 3-1 ACC) started 7-0 for the first time since 1982 (when Dan Marino was its quarterback) but lost at SMU in a ranked matchup last Saturday. This weekend, Pitt hosts Virginia (4-4, 2-3 ACC) at home.

The Tigers lost control of their own destiny in the ACC championship game race after a shocking 31-22 home loss to the Cardinals. With two ACC games remaining, Clemson needs to win out against Virginia Tech and Pitt on the road and hope one of the two undefeated teams above them (Miami and SMU) slip up.
