The Atlantic Coast Conference announced Wednesday the game times for four Syracuse contests, including the season-opener and Clemson.

The Orange begins its season at home on Friday, Sept. 1 at 7 p.m. against Central Connecticut State. In Week 2, SU hosts Middle Tennessee State on Saturday, Sept. 9 at 3:30 p.m., as former Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer returns to the Carrier Dome as a defensive coordinator for MTSU. The next week, on Saturday, Sept. 16, Syracuse plays again at 3:30 p.m., this time against Central Michigan.

SU’s first three games will air on ACC Network Extra, a live-streaming events channel available through WatchESPN.

After playing at Louisiana State, at North Carolina State and hosting Pittsburgh — none of which have official start times as of yet — the Orange hosts Clemson, the reigning national champions, on Friday, Oct. 13, at 7 p.m. It will be nationally televised on ESPN.
