The schools agreed to a home-and-away series for the 2025 and 2026 seasons with Clemson receiving the first home game. This Week 1 game will be a rematch of the 2020 national championship game, which LSU won 42-25.
This game likely will be a matchup between top-10 teams as both feature prominent coaches, Dabo Swinney and Brian Kelly, and quarterbacks who could be first-round selections in the 2026 NFL Draft: Cade Klubnik and Garrett Nussmeier .
Clemson has not won a season-opening game since 2022; LSU has not won one since 2019.
Clemson won the ACC championship in 2024 to make the College Football Playoff for the first time in three seasons. LSU went 9-4 last year to miss the CFP for the fifth straight season.
