Clemson, Notre Dame set 12-game football series

By NCAAFB Premium News May 6, 2025 | 6:51 PM

Powerhouse football programs Clemson and Notre Dame agreed to a 12-game, home-and-home series beginning in 2027.
The schools already had games scheduled at Clemson, S.C., in 2027, 2031 and 2037, with contests in South Bend, Ind., also previously set for 2028 and 2034. The series now will run through the 2038 season.
“We strive to consistently create a football schedule that positions us for success in the College Football Playoff, and that goal requires us to form historic partnerships like this one with Clemson,” Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua said Tuesday. “This rivalry has already produced some of the most memorable moments in recent college football history, and our fans deserve these matchups to continue to make those indelible memories.”
The two teams have met eight times in the past, with the Tigers winning five of them. In their most recent game, Clemson defeated 12th-ranked Notre Dame at home, 31-23, in 2023.
Among schools that have faced Notre Dame at least twice, Clemson is one of just six programs with a winning record against the Fighting Irish.
Either Clemson or Notre Dame has been ranked in the top 15 ahead of each of the previous eight meetings. Both have been in the top 15 five times, and three times both were in the top five.
“We have immense excitement for the creation of this 12-year series between these two premier programs, as we know these will be must-see matchups for fans at Memorial Stadium and Notre Dame Stadium as well as television audiences nationwide,” said Graham Neff, Clemson’s athletic director.
Series of a dozen or more games are rare.
Clemson has had three opponents it played at least 12 consecutive years, most recently Georgia (1973-87). Notre Dame played Michigan in 18 consecutive seasons from 2002-19.
The pedigree of each program is unquestioned.
The Fighting Irish lost to Ohio State in the CFP title game at the conclusion of the 2024 season but has won 11 national championships and has 962 total victories, fourth in college football history.
Clemson has three national titles and is 13th all-time with 808 wins.
