Tirico replaces Dan Hicks in the booth for NBA, who has called Notre Dame games since 2013.
“He is the latest in a line of distinguished broadcasters to call Notre Dame football on NBC, including Dick Enberg, Charlie Jones, Tom Hammond, Don Criqui and Dan Hicks,” NBC Sports executive VP Sam Flood said in a statement.
NBC is set to broadcast seven Notre Dame games this season.
