CLEMSON — The ACC unveiled all of Clemson basketball's conference opponents for the 2026-27 season on May 28.
Clemson will face Cal, Duke, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Notre Dame, Stanford, Syracuse, Virginia and Wake Forest at home at Littlejohn Coliseum. The Tigers will battle Boston College, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Louisville, Miami, NC State, Pitt, SMU and Virginia Tech on the road.
The 18-game ACC schedule will start in late December and conclude on the first Saturday of March. Dates for Clemson's full conference schedule will be released at a later date.
Clemson won't face UNC in the regular season. With the conference's new scheduling model that reduced conference games from 20 to 18, each team will play one game, home or away, against 14 of the remaining 15 teams annually.

It will mark the first time Clemson and UNC won't face each other since the 1950-51 season.
Clemson will face Georgia Tech twice because that is the Tigers' primary partner. Clemson will also play FSU twice in 2026-27 because the Seminoles are Clemson's variable opponent.
The variable partner is determined each season. Last season, Clemson's secondary opponent was Pitt.
Clemson is coming off its third straight NCAA Tournament appearance. The Tigers lost five players to expiring eligibility, including guard Dillon Hunter and forward RJ Godfrey, and Jake Wahlin to the transfer portal.
Clemson coach Brad Brownell and his staff retained guards Ace Buckner and Zac Foster and center Carter Welling. They will be joined by three freshman signees and four transfers as the Tigers look to make March Madness for the fourth consecutive season in 2026-27.
