Notre Dame Opens 2026 at Lambeau | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News

Notre Dame kicks off their 2026 season Sunday night, Sept. 6, at Lambeau Field against Wisconsin in a long-awaited makeup game from 2020 — and they’re heavy favorites by 22 points. Quarterback C.J. Carr, back for his sophomore year and already Heisman buzzworthy after throwing for over 2,700 yards and 24 TDs as a freshman, leads a revamped offense with thin depth behind him. The running game, now led by junior Aneyas Williams after key losses to the NFL, returns to its potent form, while senior Jordan Faison anchors a receiving corps that led the team last year. Tune in at 7:30 PM ET on NBC or stream it on Peacock — this opener could set the tone for a historic season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
