What time is Clemson vs. LSU football Week 1? College GameDay time update
Here’s all the information you need for Clemson’s Week 1 matchup against LSU.
Clemson fans will have to wait until September 5th to see their team take to the field, as the Tigers will open their 2026 season with a trip to Baton Rouge to face their archrivals LSU. This much-anticipated matchup will immediately put Clemson under the national spotlight, marking the second consecutive year that the two programs have started their seasons against each other.
Last year's game saw the Tigers trailing 10-3 at halftime before ultimately falling 17-10, a bitter end to a disappointing season for Clemson. In contrast, LSU enters this rematch with a new coaching staff led by Brian Kelly, who has been replaced by Lane Kiffin. The addition of a new face in Baton Rouge adds another layer of intrigue to what was already a highly anticipated matchup.
