A Season of Transition
Clemson’s 2025 campaign ended without the expected eight victories, marking the first time since 2010 that the Tigers fell short of that milestone. The disappointment was underscored by a 28‑24 loss to Penn State in the Pinstripe Bowl, which also served as a bittersweet finale for veteran quarterback Cade Klubnik.
Head coach Dabo Swinney, now in his 15th year, is banking on continuity. He will retain key contributors such as receiver T.J. Moore, pass‑catcher Bryant Wesco Jr. and linebacker Sammy Brown, hoping their experience can spark a rebound in the upcoming season.
Ticket Access and Pricing
The 2026 slate features seven home contests at Clemson Memorial Stadium, including matchups against Georgia Southern, North Carolina, Miami, Charleston Southern, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and the traditional rivalry with South Carolina. The season opens on the road against LSU before the Tigers host Georgia Southern on September 12.
Ticket pricing for the home games starts as low as $16 for the Charleston Southern contest, while the most affordable away game, at California, is listed at $63. Prices climb to $240 for premium seating, giving fans a range of options depending on budget.
Despite the challenging schedule, the Tigers enter the year ranked No. 23 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, a testament to the program’s enduring reputation and the optimism surrounding Swinney’s roster.
