We now know the entire 2025 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football schedule, including dates and home/away locations.
The Irish have seven home games on the schedule. Notre Dame will also face several teams that are considered rivals. Navy, USC, Boston College, and Stanford are on the schedule.
Other games of note include home games against Texas A&M and in-state rival Purdue. Boise State is also heading to South Bend, and the season kicks off against the Miami Hurricanes in Miami.
Unlike in 2024, when the Irish played at venues in Atlanta, New Jersey and New York City, it appears every game is on the host team’s campus or, in the case of teams that don’t play on campus, at the home team’s primary stadium.
The ACC has set it up so six teams will play non-conference games against the Irish. In addition to those six games, Notre Dame will play against two SEC teams, two Big 10 teams, and two Group of 5 teams (Navy and Boise State).
