Last season, Notre Dame came as close as you can get without winning it all in college football, mounting a historic campaign that came just short when the Fighting Irish fell to the Ohio State Buckeyes in January’s National Championship game.
This season, the Irish will be back under head coach Marcus Freeman for another run at college football’s top prize, and for the 35th year in a row, they’ll be right at home on NBC. Under the current agreement that runs through 2029, NBC and Peacock will remain the place to catch every Notre Dame home game, and for the 2025-2026 season, that means no fewer than seven glorious, Golden-Domed Saturdays filled with Fighting Irish football.
