Clemson's annual spring football game is scheduled for March 28 at 1 p.m. ET at Memorial Stadium. Unlike previous years, the game will not be televised, but fans can attend the free event in person. Clemson will also air a one-hour spring football special on ACC Network and Clemson+ later in the spring.

Why it matters

The spring game is an important event for Clemson, as it allows new players to get game-day experience at Memorial Stadium and serves as a recruiting tool to showcase the program to visiting prospects. Head coach Dabo Swinney has been adamant about keeping the spring game, unlike some other schools that have canceled or modified their exhibitions.

The details

Clemson's spring game will feature a split-squad scrimmage, with teams divided by players and coaches. Normal clock rules will be in effect for the first quarter and final two minutes of each half, while a running clock will be used for the rest of the game. There will not be a full halftime. Fans can listen to the game through the Clemson Athletic Network and ClemsonTigers.com, but there will be no television broadcast.

  • Clemson's spring game is scheduled for March 28, 2026 at 1 p.m. ET.
  • The Tigers will have one more spring practice on March 30, 2026 after the spring game.
