Clemson Football will play all games on Saturdays in 2024
The Atlantic Coast Conference has been announcing components of their 2024 football schedule one piece at a time. The first announcement was for Week 1 games, which didn’t impact Clemson Football because the Tigers already knew they were playing Georgia to open the season.
The second piece of information could have impacted Clemson, but it didn’t, and that is a very good thing.
So, in the new-look ACC , 15 of the 17 teams will play a Thurs/Fri game and 11 of 17 will host a Thurs/Fri game during 2024 season. Clemson is on neither of those lists and will be all Saturdays this fall ... only other school with that setup is Virginia https://t.co/aPxYXguiDE

I know some fans enjoy seeing the Tigers on Thursdays or Labor Day Monday, so I completely understand if some readers don’t agree with my statement that an all-Saturday schedule is a good thing.
The balance of the 2024 ACC schedule will be released by the end of January. Times and networks will be announced a few weeks before the scheduled date for each game. This will be the first season in the ACC for Stanford, California and SMU.
