LSU football will be under the lights when it takes the field for the first time this fall. The Tigers week one battle with Clemson is set for 7:30 PM ET, according to Brett McMurphy.

LSU has gotten used to playing Sunday openers after the Tigers began 2022, 2023, and 2024 on Sunday evening. This year, LSU returns to the traditional Saturday spot.

LSU will be looking to snap a season-opener losing streak that dates back to 2020. The last time LSU started the year 1-0, Joe Burrow was throwing to Ja’Marr Chase. Putting an end to that streak won’t come easy, though.

Clemson, coming off a playoff appearance, is shaping up to be one of the best rosters in the country. Dabo Swinney’s group returns QB Cade Klubnik along with a trio of All-ACC caliber wide receivers. On defense, TJ Parker and Peter Woods form one of the best defensive line tandems in the country.

With a primetime kickoff on ABC, LSU vs. Clemson is a strong candidate to host ESPN’s College Gameday.
