Notre Dame and Clemson already know each other pretty well in football. That relationship will become even more familiar in the future after the two college football powers announced a 12-year home-and-home scheduling agreement on Tuesday that will pit them against each other annually from 2027 through 2038.

Clemson enters the 2025 season with 14 straight years of nine or more wins, the second-longest active streak in the country. Notre Dame has reached that mark in each of the past eight seasons. The schools also continue to rank among the top performers academically, with each earning the AFCA Academic Achievement Award last season.

With the announcement of Notre Dame football’s upcoming 12-game series with the Clemson Tigers, Irish AD Pete Bevacqua went into details why happened.
