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 and Notre Dame were already scheduled to play in 2027, 2028, 2031, 2034 and 2037. Under the revamped schedule, the Tigers will host the games during odd-numbered years during that time frame, while the Fighting Irish will host the games in even-numbered years.
Clemson holds a 5-3 advantage in the all-time series, which has been highlighted by some memorable matchups.
The teams have played six times since 2015 with Clemson winning four times, including both postseason matchups.
Clemson defeated Notre Dame 30-3 in the College Football Playoff national semifinal at the Cotton Bowl in 2018 before winning the national title two weeks later. In 2020, Notre Dame, playing as a full-time member of the Atlantic Coast Conference because of COVID-19 scheduling concerns, beat the Tigers in a shootout, only to lose to Clemson in the ACC championship.
'Even in just the last decade, matchups between Clemson and Notre Dame have produced incredibly memorable moments and games,' Clemson director of athletics Graham Neff said in a release. 'We have immense excitement for the creation of this 12-year series between these two premier programs, as we know these will be must-see matchups for fans at Memorial Stadium and Notre Dame Stadium as well as television audiences nationwide.'
Both teams reached the expanded College Football Playoff field last year, with the Irish advancing to the national championship game before losing to Ohio State 34-23.
Clemson has won nine or more games in 14 straight seasons — the nation's second-longest active streak and the fourth-longest streak in major college football history. Notre Dame has won nine or more games in the last eight seasons.
'We strive to consistently create a football schedule that positions us for success in the College Football Playoff, and that goal requires us to form historic partnerships like this one with Clemson,' Notre Dame vice president and director of athletics Pete Bevacqua said. 'This rivalry has already produced some of the most memorable moments in recent college football history, and our fans deserve these matchups to continue to make those indelible memories.'

Patriots Rookie Running Back TreVeyon Henderson Predicted to Become Starter
Patriots Rookie Running Back TreVeyon Henderson Predicted to Become Starter originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Rhamondre Stevenson has kept a stronghold on the New England Patriots' starting running back job over the past two seasons, appearing first on the depth chart in 26 of the team's 34 games. Advertisement But Stevenson showed some chinks in his armor during the previous campaign, as he fumbled the ball seven times, which led to his benching at one point in the . Ball security will almost certainly be one of Stevenson's priorities heading into 2025, and improvements in that area will boost his stock in a competitive Patriots running back room. Bleacher Report's Mitch Milani, however, predicts Stevenson will eventually lose his spot on the depth chart to an up-and-coming talent: rookie TreVeyon Henderson. In fact, Stevenson topped Milani's list of "NFL Stars Who'll Lose Jobs," which Milani discussed in an episode of Bleacher Report's NFL Daily Live Show on Monday. 'Rhamondre Stevenson has a little bit more competition than he's had in previous seasons. Not only does he have a new regime, a new head coach and a former – but also new – offensive coordinator, but he also has a new member in his backfield," Milani said in the video. "TreVeyon Henderson – out of Ohio State, [a] second-round pick – was one of, if not the, most explosive running back in the entire draft class. And now, he is fighting, pushing Rhamondre for his starting job.' Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson (32) holds the national championship trophy after his team's defeat of Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff title game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Jan. 21, Cairns / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Milani anticipates that Stevenson, should he lose the starting job, will continue to be relied upon and earn game reps in the backfield, but he believes Henderson has a higher ceiling in Josh McDaniel's offensive system, which has historically relied on pass-catching running backs. Advertisement "When we think of the Tom Brady era of Patriot football... We think of the Kevin Folk's, and the Shane Vereen's, and the James White's of the world," Milani said. "Henderson fits that role. But even more so, more expansively, he is a more explosive player, or [a more] highly-touted player, than any one of those running backs." Henderson, the No. 38 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, is coming off a national championship season with Ohio State, which won the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff in January. In his final season with the Buckeyes, he served as a team captain on offense and rushed for 1,1016 yards on 144 carries, resulting in him earning a place on the All-Big Ten Conference Third Team.

Look inside pub after major revamp with darts, pool, and two-pinters on offer
A popular Ingleby Barwick pub has undergone a major revamp - with punters now able to enjoy three-metre wide screens, pool and darts, and two-pinter tipples. The Myton House Farm, which has been a popular haunt for housing estate residents since the 1990s, reopened last month following a fresh revamp. It has become one of the first venues in the UK to launch under pub chain owner Marston's new Grandstand sports pub concept, offering "unbeatable" live sports experiences. From giant new screens and immersive sound to a new pool table and dedicated darts area, The Myton has been given a new look 'perfect for summer tournaments'. Inside The Myton in Ingleby Barwick (Image: Chris J Parker) Inside The Myton in Ingleby Barwick (Image: Chris J Parker) Inside The Myton in Ingleby Barwick (Image: Chris J Parker) The huge new screens will be home to everything from football and rugby to F1 and tennis, with every key sporting fixture shown at the pub. There are also new tiered viewing areas and an enhanced outdoor setup for the summer months, plus a new app that allows guests to enjoy the action without leaving their seats. On the menu, guests will be able to enjoy themed matchday snacks from Pukka pies and pasties to classic pub mains, with draught beers available in two pint cups. Inside The Myton in Ingleby Barwick (Image: Chris J Parker) Inside The Myton in Ingleby Barwick (Image: Chris J Parker) Inside The Myton in Ingleby Barwick (Image: Chris J Parker) There will also be 10% off pre-match pints for an hour before kick-off. Plus, post-game, there will be weekly music nights, quizzes, and rock and roll bingo, with black card rewards for local teams, offering bottomless chips and exclusive incentives. The Myton is one of two Teesside pubs to launch under the new Grandstand concept, with The Coronation Inn, in Acklam, Middlesbrough, similarly reopening following a revamp. The Myton in Ingleby Barwick (Image: Chris J Parker) Inside The Myton in Ingleby Barwick (Image: Chris J Parker) To mark the reopening of The Myton, NHS worker Deb Gale, who founded CPAD (Community Public Access Defibrillators), was chosen as The Myton's community hero to pull the first pint. Deb was inspired during the COVID-19 pandemic to take action after noticing a lack of accessible defibrillators in the area - and thanks to her efforts, there are now over 100 defibrillators across the area. Today, no matter where you are in Ingleby Barwick, a defibrillator is within 500 metres. Inside The Coronation Inn in Middlesbrough (Image: Dave Charnley) Inside The Coronation Inn in Middlesbrough (Image: Dave Charnley) Inside The Coronation Inn in Middlesbrough (Image: Dave Charnley) Despite working full-time and raising a family, Deb continues to volunteer her time and energy to CPAD purely out of a desire to support her community. Tom Judge, the founder and director of men's mental health organisation First Contact UK, was similarly chosen as the Coronation Inn community hero - The former athlete, who is known for running marathons with a fridge strapped to his back, is soon set to embark on his most ambitious challenge yet, an endurance run from Middlesbrough to Spain. Both The Coronation and The Myton now feature unique local sports displays, with memorabilia sourced from the community.

Geoff Hughes, partner at The Coronation Inn, said: 'It's amazing to see the pub come back to life with such energy. Our regulars are loving the new experience, whether it's a big game or a quiet pint, there's something for everyone here.' Courtney Lewis, general manager at The Myton, added: 'We're already seeing the community get involved, bringing in photos, filling our quiz nights, and supporting their teams on the big screens.'
