Notre Dame travels to Dublin, Ireland to play the Naval Academy on Saturday in the opening game of the 2023 football season. The Fighting Irish and the Midshipmen initially scheduled this venue for 2020 before COVID forced its postponement. This weekend, the teams will meet on the Emerald Isle for the third time in the series. The Irish enjoy a 79-12-1 overall advantage and have won the last five, including a closer-than-expected 35-32 victory last season. Saturday’s game will be broadcast nationally by NBC starting at 2:30 PM Eastern time.
Head Coach Marcus Freeman enters his second season at the helm for Notre Dame.
