Clemson football has a kickoff time for its next game.

The Tigers’ Oct. 11 road game at Boston College will kick off at 7:30 p.m., the ACC announced Monday. ACC Network will broadcast the game from Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.

Clemson (1-3, 0-2 ACC) has gone from preseason No. 4 to unranked and last place in the ACC among 17 teams after a disastrous start. Boston College (1-3, 0-2 ACC) has an identical overall and ACC record.

This will be Clemson’s second night game of the season and first since Week 1 vs. LSU. Since then, the Tigers have been picked for one game at 3:30 p.m. (Troy) and three games in the noon kickoff timeslot (Georgia Tech, Syracuse, UNC).

Coach Dabo Swinney and the Tigers are coming off a bye week and play at UNC this Saturday as a 13.5-point favorite. Boston College is coming off a road loss at Cal and plays at Pitt on Saturday. BC is a 6.5-point underdog in that game.

Next Saturday’s game will be Clemson’s first game against Boston College since 2022 as well as the first coaching matchup between Swinney and BC’s Bill O’Brien.

Swinney is 14-1 against Boston College, and the Tigers haven’t dropped a game to BC (a one-time ACC Atlantic Division rival) since 2010.
