If you have a protective film, or have a protective case, remove it.


Clean the display.


Put a different app in the same screen position as the clock app, and see if that app then opens during your normal usage, or if the clock opens. This to see if it’s specifically the clock app opening, or the app in the position currently occupied by the clock app.


If the problem of ghost touches persists, contact Apple for a discussion about and potentially for a hardware repair.


Above assumes you’re not tapping on the clock app, which would be the simplest explanation.
