Notre Dame and Clemson have agreed to play a 12-year series from 2027-38, sources confirmed to CBS Sports’ Brandon Marcello. The Tigers will count as one of five ACC schools that the Fighting Irish play on an annual basis, and Notre Dame also intends on playing Florida State and Miami more often.
The agreement means Clemson will play 10 Power Four opponents each year of the series with Notre Dame, since rival South Carolina is also an annual fixture on the Tigers’ schedule. The deal also provides Notre Dame an opportunity to beef up its independent schedule with a consistent College Football Playoff competitor.
