The Clemson Tigers' lone FCS opponent on the 2026 schedule will visit Memorial Stadium during Week 7 of the 2026 college football season on Oct. 17.
The ACC on Monday announced start time and TV channel information for its Week 7 slate, including Clemson-Charleston Southern.
The Tigers (3-2 overall, 2-1 ACC) will face the Buccaneers (2-3) at noon ET on Oct. 17. The game will be televised on ACC Network, marking Clemson's second appearance on the network this season. Clemson-Charleston Southern will stream on ESPN+.
The teams last met in Week 2 of the 2023 season at Clemson's Death Valley, a 66-17 win by the Tigers.
Clemson is coming off a 41-13 loss to the Miami Hurricanes in Week 5. Tait Reynolds threw for a career-high 295 yards and completed
29 of his 44 passes, but the Tigers were kept out of the end zone until Gideon Davidson's 2-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
Miami pushed around the Tigers' beleaguered offensive line, registering six sacks of Reynolds and recording nine tackles for loss. The Hurricanes held the Tigers to 55 rushing yards.
Charleston Southern, a member of the Ohio Valley Conference, suffered a 12-10 loss to Gardner-Webb in Week 5.
