Notre Dame Announces 2025 Home Football Schedule

Notre Dame has announced its 2025 home football schedule, headlined by three primetime games against Texas A&M (Sept. 13), USC (Oct. 18), and Navy (Nov. 8), all on NBC. The future of the USC-Notre Dame rivalry beyond 2026 is uncertain due to USC's Big Ten move and conference realignment. Notre Dame enters the season as a projected top-10 team after a College Football Playoff national championship appearance, while Texas A&M and USC look to rebound from disappointing previous seasons. Other notable games include a first-ever meeting with Boise State (Oct. 4), a home game against Purdue (Sept. 20), and an ACC clash with NC State (Oct. 11) which will stream exclusively on Peacock. The expanded 12-team playoff format makes the challenging home schedule crucial for Notre Dame's postseason aspirations. The Irish have won 13 of their last 15 home night games.
