Notre Dame’s 2020 season opener officially has a start time. The two schools announced on Tuesday that the game will kickoff under the lights of Avila Stadium in Dublin – which means a nice mid-afternoon start time for anyone watching on the east coast. Kickoff is set for 7:00 PM local in Dublin and 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT.
When Notre Dame and Navy last met in Dublin to start the 2012 season, kickoff was just after 9:00 AM on the east coast and just after 6:00 out west. That won’t be the case this time around with the two schools giving the locals – and those traveling to the Emerald Isle – a primetime showdown instead.
