Notre Dame Adds SMU to 2026 Schedule

Notre Dame recently achieved a dominant 52-3 victory over Florida State, marking their seventh consecutive win, with quarterback Riley Leonard scoring two rushing touchdowns and one passing touchdown. This victory evened Notre Dame's series with Florida State at 6-6. Additionally, Notre Dame's 2026 football schedule has been updated to include a game against SMU at Notre Dame Stadium, replacing a previously scheduled matchup with Virginia. SMU, now a member of the ACC, has not faced Notre Dame since 1989 and holds a 3-10 record against them historically. The game is part of Notre Dame's continued participation in the ACC scheduling agreement, with specific date and time details yet to be determined.
