How to watch Clemson vs. Virginia

The Clemson Tigers will host ACC rivals the Virginia Cavaliers at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

  • Date: Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024
  • Live Stream: FuboTV and DAZN
  • Time: Noon ET
  • TV: ACC Network
  • Venue: Memorial Stadium, Clemson, SC

Clemson enters the game as favorites, and that shouldn't surprise neutrals. The Tigers have a stacked roster and were utterly dominant against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons last time out.

Cade Klubnik has been at his dual-threat best this season under center, amassing a stat line of 1,528 passing yards, 17 touchdowns and two interceptions. He has also added 198 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns for good measure.
