THE FLATS – After a one-year absence, Georgia Tech and Clemson will renew their gridiron rivalry on Sept. 13 at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field. The 90^th all-time matchup between the Yellow Jackets and Tigers will be the 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams.

Tech and Clemson met in 41-consecutive seasons from 1983 (the Jackets’ first in the ACC) until 2023. However, with a new ACC scheduling format in place, the teams did not square off in 2024. Following this season, they will meet again at Clemson in 2026, before rotating off each other’s schedules again in 2027. The ACC has not announced conference opponents beyond 2027.

With 89 matchups dating back to 1898, Clemson is Georgia Tech’s fourth-most common opponent, behind only Georgia (118 matchups), Auburn (92) and Duke (91). Tech leads the all-time series, 50-36-2^.

Aug. 30 at Colorado

* ACC game

Tech will also host Pitt, Syracuse and Virginia Tech and travel to Boston College, Duke, NC State and Wake Forest in ACC play.

The remainder of the Yellow Jackets’ 2025 schedule will be announced during the ACC’s 2025 Football Schedule Release Show, which will air live Monday from 9-11 p.m. ET on ACC Network, with the first hour simulcast on ESPN2.

Kickoff times and television arrangements for the first three games of the season (at Colorado, vs. Gardner-Webb and vs. Clemson) will be announced in the coming months. Game times and TV arrangements for all other games are announced 12 days before kickoff.
