CLEMSON — Clemson football has an official start time for its home opener of the 2024 college season.
ESPN announced Thursday that the Tigers' home opener against Appalachian State will start at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday, Sept. 7, at Memorial Stadium and will air nationally on ACC Network.

This will be the sixth all-time meeting between the programs. Clemson defeated Appalachian State 41-10 in their most recent matchup in 2015 at Memorial Stadium. The Tigers lead the all-time series 5-0.
The Tigers' season opener against Georgia on Aug. 31 in Atlanta previously was announced as scheduled for noon on ABC.
Clemson looks to bounce back after a down 2023 season in which it finished with a 9-4 record, missing the ACC championship game and not making the College Football Playoff for the third consecutive season. It lost three starters on offense, including running back Will Shipley , and eight on defense, like Nate Wiggins and Ruke Orhorhoro .
Still, the Tigers' goal is to win a national championship, which would be their first since 2018. Players like Cade Klubnik , Phil Mafah and Wade Woodaz , will have to step up for Clemson to re-emerge as a college football powerhouse.
