College football is back, and there's no better way to kick off the 2023 season than with a game across the Atlantic Ocean and into the land of the Irish.
No. 13 Notre Dame and Navy will begin the Week 0 slate Saturday when they play at Aviva Stadium in Dublin in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. One of the longest played rivalries on the East Coast, this year's meeting between the Fighting Irish and Midshipmen will be the 96th time they face off, and third time they will take their game to Ireland. It will also be the second consecutive year the college football season begins in Ireland after Northwestern beat Nebraska in Dublin in 2022.
