Clemson University's most recent major team national championship was captured by the storied football program, which won the College Football Playoff national title. Under the guidance of head coach Dabo Swinney, the Tigers defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide to claim the crown. Since then, the football program has remained a perennial national contender, while other varsity sports across the athletic department continually strive to add new national trophies to the university's historic showcase.
