Clemson’s full 2026 football schedule was announced by the ACC on Monday.

During ACC Network’s ACC Huddle: Football Schedule Release special on Monday, ACCN analyst and former Clemson/All-ACC offensive lineman Eric Mac Lain gave some thoughts on the Tigers’ schedule and how he thinks it sets up for 2026.

Mac Lain first touched on Clemson’s season opener, which will pit Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney’s Tigers against the LSU Tigers, led by new head coach Lane Kiffin.

Following the 2025 season opener that saw LSU beat Clemson, 17-10, in a top-10 matchup at Clemson’s Memorial Stadium, Clemson will kick off the 2026 campaign on Sept.
