Notre Dame and BYU have officially announced a home-and-home football series, scheduled for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. This agreement will see the Fighting Irish travel to Provo, Utah, in 2026, where they will play at LaVell Edwards Stadium, marking their first visit to the venue in over twenty years.
The universities confirmed that BYU will make the return trip to South Bend, Indiana, in 2027. This matchup will be the third time Notre Dame has played in Provo, with the Irish currently leading the series against the Cougars with a record of seven wins to two losses after nine encounters, the last of which occurred in 2022 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
BYU athletic director Brian Santiago expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming series. “We are excited to announce this home-and-home series between BYU and Notre Dame for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. We have tremendous respect for Notre Dame and appreciate Director of Athletics Pete Bevacqua, who has been great to work with in arranging this series. These will be competitive football games, and will highlight Kalani Sitake and Marcus Freeman, two of the best leaders and coaches in college football,” Santiago stated.
The 2027 game at Notre Dame Stadium will be BYU”s first visit to South Bend since 2013. While the specific dates and times for the games have been announced, television arrangements for both seasons will be disclosed at a later date.
