Clemson football learned three more 2025 kickoff times on Thursday.

The Tigers’ home game vs. Troy will kick off at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6 at Memorial Stadium and their ACC and road opener at Georgia Tech will kick off at Noon on Saturday, Sept. 13 in Atlanta.

Clemson’s Friday night game on Nov. 14 at Louisville will be at 8 p.m. on ESPN.

The Troy game will air on ACC Network, and the Georgia Tech game will be on ABC or ESPN.

The news came as part of a larger ACC news release announcing the kickoff times and TV channels for each of its member schools Weeks 1-3 football games as well as other matchups in the season.

Clemson’s season and home opener kickoff time had already been announced on May 13. The Tigers will host LSU at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30 in one of the most anticipated games on the college football Week 1 slate.

Coach Dabo Swinney’s Tigers went 10-4 last season and returned to the College Football Playoff for the first time since 2020. Clemson returns star quarterback Cade Klubnik (43 total touchdowns) and 15 other starters on offense and defense and ranks No. 1 in the country in total returning production, per ESPN.

Clemson was No. 2 in ESPN’s post-spring Way Too Early Top 25 for the 2025 season and has the eighth-best odds to win the national championship, per FOX Sports.
