Clemson-Georgia Cancel Future 4-Game Series
The termination reflects new SEC and ACC scheduling rules that require more conference games and limit room for nonconference series.
On Tuesday, reports confirmed that Georgia and Clemson have mutually agreed to cancel their four-game football series scheduled between 2029 and 2033. The schools signed a termination agreement in March.
Shifts in conference scheduling formats prompted the decision, as both the SEC and ACC now require nine-game conference schedules beginning in 2026. This transition complicated non-conference scheduling for both programs.
Documents obtained by the Athens Banner-Herald show Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks and Clemson athletic director Graham Neff signed the termination agreement on March 12. Games were set for 2029, 2030, 2032, and 2033.
Brooks and Neff have discussed scheduling future neutral-site matchups despite the cancellation. Neither school has officially commented on the specific reasons for terminating the home-and-home series.
Georgia has previously canceled home-and-home series with Louisville for 2026 and 2027, Florida State for 2027 and 2028, and NC State for 2033 and 2034. These reflect broader scheduling adjustments across the sport.
