College football's signature pregame show, College GameDay, returns for its new season, originating from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The show will precede the highly anticipated season opener between Clemson and LSU, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, and Nick Saban will host the broadcast. College GameDay is set to air from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET on ESPN on Saturday, September 5.
This marks the second consecutive year Clemson and LSU have opened their seasons against each other. In the previous season opener, LSU defeated Clemson by a score of 17-10. Both teams are aiming to improve upon recent seasons that did not meet their championship aspirations.
Clemson concluded its last season with an 8-5 record, a campaign marked by mid-season Atlantic Coast Conference losses and a Pinstripe Bowl defeat to Penn State. LSU finished its season at 7-6, navigating a challenging Southeastern Conference schedule before a close loss to Houston in the Texas Bowl.
