Fans won’t have to wait long on Rivalry Saturday for this year’s Palmetto Bowl. According to afternoon announcements from both teams, the annual rivalry game between South Carolina and Clemson will kick off at Noon on Saturday, November 29th. (The announcement also ends any speculation about a Black Friday edition of the rivalry in 2025.)

This year’s rivalry game will be at Williams-Brice Stadium. Either ESPN or ABC will broadcast the contest, while the ESPN app makes it available via streaming.

South Carolina’s annual date with Clemson isn’t the only known game time on the schedule.

This spring, ESPN announced the Gamecocks’ season opener against Virginia Tech as a 3:00 p.m. start. Then, USC announced the team’s first two home games (against South Carolina State and Vanderbilt) as night games. South Carolina will host SC State at 7:00 p.m. and Vanderbilt at either 7:00 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. at Williams-Brice Stadium.

Though with less specificity, several other South Carolina football games’ broadcast windows were revealed on Wednesday, as well. The SEC revealed broadcast windows for each conference game on the 2025 slate, designating them “early,” “afternoon,” “night,” or “flex.” The conference will announce networks and exact times at another time.
