Notre Dame football adds familiar foe to its 2026 and 2027 schedule

Notre Dame football recently announced a future matchup against Michigan State, marking their continued rivalry. The teams have a longstanding history, having first played in 1897 with Notre Dame winning. The Irish currently lead the series 47-29-1, with their latest encounter in 2017 resulting in a 38-18 victory for Notre Dame.

It’s promising to see this rivalry persist, especially with Notre Dame reclaiming the Megaphone Trophy in 2013. Since 2000, both teams have exchanged wins, each securing victories in eight of their matchups.
