GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Notre Dame's 2026 football game with Wisconsin at Lambeau Field will now have a Sunday kickoff.
The two schools announced Wednesday that they'll be facing off at the home of the NFL's Green Bay Packers on Sept. 6, 2026. The 2026 game previously was set for a Saturday kickoff on Sept. 5.
NBC will televise the game. This is part of a two-game, neutral-site series. Notre Dame defeated Wisconsin 41-13 at Chicago's Soldier Field in 2021. The Lambeau Field matchup initially was supposed to take place in 2020. The pandemic caused that game to get pushed back to 2026.
