Â
MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin Football’s meeting with Notre Dame, originally scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 5, 2026, has been shifted to Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026, as announced by the schools on Wednesday. As part of the 2026 Labor Day weekend slate of college football action, the matchup will take place before the start of the NFL season. The game is scheduled to be televised live by NBC.
The matchup, originally scheduled for Oct. 3, 2020, was rescheduled for 2026 after the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the 2020 football season. Wisconsin took on Notre Dame at Soldier Field in Chicago in 2021 as part of the Shamrock Series, the neutral-site non-conference series between the two programs. Notre Dame claimed the first game of the series on Sept. 25, 2021, 41-13.
Wisconsin last played at Lambeau Field in 2016 and scored a 16-14 win over No. 5 LSU. After the upset victory in the season opener, Wisconsin went on to secure a trip to the 2016 Big Ten Championship game, win the Cotton Bowl, and finish with an 11-3 overall record.
