Notre Dame, Texas Football Series Set for 2028-29

Notre Dame and Texas have announced a home-and-home football series to be played in 2028 and 2029. The first game is scheduled for September 9, 2028, at Notre Dame, and Texas will host the return match on September 22, 2029. Historically, Notre Dame leads the series with nine wins to Texas' three, but Texas won the last encounter in 2016 with a thrilling 50-47 double overtime victory. Both teams are currently enjoying successful seasons, with Texas ranked No. 3 and Notre Dame No. 6 in the latest polls. These matches further bolster Texas' non-conference schedule, which includes games against Louisiana Tech and UTSA in 2028, and ULM and UTEP in 2029. Notre Dame's independent status in football provides unique scheduling opportunities, enhancing its strength of schedule for potential College Football Playoff considerations.
