Notre Dame football 2024 schedule: Dates, start times, how to watch and more

The 2024 Notre Dame football season begins this Saturday, August 31st at 7:30 p.m. ET when the Fighting Irish take on the Texas A&M Aggies at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas.

This season marks the third year for Marcus Freemanwho is only the second Black head coach in the program's history and the 30th head coach in Notre Dame football history. Freeman led the Fighting Irish to a 10-3 record last season and has a career-high 19-8 since taking over. He needs at least 10 wins this season to break the record for most wins by a Notre Dame head coach in his first three seasons. Brian Kelly And Daniel Devine are currently at a record level with 28 wins.

Freeman will work to achieve this feat with a new offense after losing several core members of the 2023-2024 squad to the NFL Draft, transfers and departures, including the starting quarterback Sam Hartmanleading rusher Audric Estimeleading receiver Chris Tyree, and starting tackles Joe Alt And Blake FisherLast year's offense scored 66 total touchdowns, the most in program history.

Experienced quarterback Riley Leonard transferred to Notre Dame after spending the last three seasons at Duke. The Fairhope, Alabama, native played in just 7 games last season after undergoing three surgeries in a 5-month span. If Leonard starts Saturday, he will be the sixth different quarterback for Notre Dame in the last seven seasons.

With a new quarterback and a new offense, the Fighting Irish are looking to return to the College Football Playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season. Follow all of Notre Dame’s home games this season on NBC and peacock. The full 2024 Notre Dame football schedule can be found below.
