On Tuesday, the Fighting Irish announced a 12-year regular-season series with Clemson, which will run from the 2027-2038 seasons. That coincides with the last game between Notre Dame and USC, which is set for 2026. In February, USC athletic director Jennifer Cohen spoke with The Athletic about the rivalry dating back to 1926.

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.
