The 2024-25 Clemson men’s basketball season is just over a month away, with practices for teams in the ACC already underway.
Clemson and the rest of the ACC now have their league-wide schedule, released by the conference on Tuesday. That includes tipoff times and TV broadcast information for most games.
The Tigers will open conference play in Coral Gables against the Miami Hurricanes on Dec. 7 at Watsco Center in a nationally televised game on ESPN at noon ET.
After nonconference games against the Memphis Tigers (in Clemson) and South Carolina Gamecocks (in Columbia), Clemson will welcome Wake Forest to Littlejohn Coliseum two weeks later when ACC play resumes on Dec. 21. Clemson and Wake Forest will meet at 2:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Coach Brad Brownell’s team will not head west to either Stanford or Cal this season, as both the Cardinal and Golden Bears will visit Clemson in those schools’ first year in the ACC. The Tigers will, however, visit SMU in late February for their first conference matchup with the Mustangs.
The ACC did Clemson no favors by scheduling back-to-back games against the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels in a quick turnaround. The Tigers will host Duke on Feb. 8 at Littlejohn, followed two nights later when North Carolina visits Clemson on Feb. 10. Both games will be televised by ESPN.
The Tigers will face three repeat opponents (at home and away): the Florida State Seminoles, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, and Virginia Tech Hokies. Clemson will host Virginia Tech on March 8 in the Tigers’ regular season finale.
The 2025 ACC Tournament will return to Charlotte, with the league’s top 15 teams reaching the conference tournament.

Clemson is coming off its best season in over 40 years. The Tigers reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament last March for only the second time in school history — and the first time since 1980.
Brownell is entering his 15th season as Clemson’s head coach. The Tigers will officially open the 2024-25 campaign against Charleston Southern on Nov. 4 at Littlejohn Coliseum. Clemson returns six scholarship players from a season ago, including sixth-year senior guard Chase Hunter and forward/center Ian Schieffelin.
Both were instrumental in the Tigers’ deep run to the Elite Eight. Schieffelin was named the ACC’s Most Improved Player a season ago.
