When will Clemson face Syracuse, Duke? Game days officially announced
The game day for Clemson’s matchup against Duke and Syracuse have been released.
Clemson ’s 2026 football schedule saw two ACC-related changes announced Friday, with one game officially locked into a Saturday slot and another shifted to Friday night. The Tigers ’ road matchup against Syracuse Orange , which had previously been designated as a flex option for either Nov. 6 or Nov.
7, will now be played on Saturday, Nov. 7. Clemson’s road trip to Duke Blue Devils has also been adjusted, moving from Saturday, Nov.
21 to Friday, Nov. 20 as part of the ACC’s finalized Friday night slate. Kickoff times and television assignments for both contests will be announced later.
Clemson already had one Friday game on the schedule before Friday’s announcement, a Sept. 25 trip to California Golden Bears. That matchup will mark Clemson’s first-ever trip to Berkeley.
