The Clemson football program has several key non-conference series set in its future.

The Tigers have scheduled several prominent programs for non-conference games throughout the next decade and a half.

It was announced earlier this week that the Tigers would be taking on Oklahoma in 2035 and 2036, so we thought we’d take a look at the non-conference matchups across the board. Here’s a look at the Tigers’ future non-conference schedules and when they’ll be facing each program, according to FBS Schedules.

• 2019: Texas A&M, Charlotte, Wofford, at South Carolina
• 2020: Akron, at Notre Dame, The Citadel, South Carolina
• 2021: Wyoming, UConn, SC State, at South Carolina
• 2022: Furman, Louisiana Tech, at Notre Dame, South Carolina
• 2023: Wofford, Florida Atlantic, Notre Dame, at South Carolina
• 2024: Georgia (in Atlanta, GA), Appalachian State, The Citadel, South Carolina
• 2025: LSU, Troy, Furman, at South Carolina
• 2026: at LSU, Charleston Southern, South Carolina
• 2027: Wofford, at South Carolina, Notre Dame
• 2028: at Notre Dame, South Carolina
• 2029: Georgia, at South Carolina
• 2030: at Georgia, South Carolina
• 2031: Notre Dame, at South Carolina
• 2032: South Carolina
• 2033: at South Carolina
• 2034: South Carolina
• 2035: Oklahoma, at South Carolina
• 2036: at Oklahoma, South Carolina

Thoughts:

It should be fun to see the matchup with Georgia in Atlanta and then the two home-and-home games in 2029 and 2030. I’m particularly excited about the prospect of hosting LSU and then going to Baton Rouge for a game in 2026, though that’s still seven years from now.

The Oklahoma series should also be a fun one, though that’s way down the road at this point.

You see a lot of Notre Dame on the non-conference schedule, but it is possible that the Fighting Irish join the ACC at some point and that frees up an extra non-conference game. The ACC could potentially go to nine games in the future, as well, which would mean that the Tigers would only get three non-conference games instead of four.

What do you think, Clemson football fans? Which non-conference series are you most excited about? Also, who should the Tigers schedule for future years- such as 2027 or 2032-2034? Comment below.
