CLEMSON — Clemson football has an official start time for its final regular season game on the Tigers’ 2025 schedule.
Clemson will face rival South Carolina at noon ET on Nov. 29 at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, and the game will be broadcast nationally on ABC or ESPN.
This will be the 122nd installment of the Palmetto Bowl with Clemson leading the all-time series 73-44-4. This rivalry began in 1896 with South Carolina winning the first game 12-6. The Gamecocks defeated the Tigers 17-14 last year at Memorial Stadium after Clemson beat them 16-7 in 2023 in Columbia.
Clemson has won its last five road games at South Carolina starting in 2015. A win this year would give the Tigers six straight road wins against the Gamecocks for the first time since winning in Columbia six straight times from 1989-99.
If the Gamecocks beat Clemson, it would be their first time winning two straight games in the series since 2012 and 2013.
This game could have College Football Playoff implications as both teams eye one of the 12 postseason seedings. It will also feature two quarterbacks, Clemson’s Cade Klubnik and South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers, who could be taken in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
