Notre Dame Football will travel to Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Sunday, September 6, 2026, to face Wisconsin at Lambeau Field in the first Shamrock Series matchup since 2021, a game delayed by the COVID‑19 pandemic. The contest is slated to kick off at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time, marking a rare neutral‑site encounter between two storied programs.
A Neutral‑Site Tradition Revived
Lambeau Field, the iconic home of the Green Bay Packers, will host the third college football game ever played at the venue. The first was a 1983 meeting between St. Norbert and Fordham, followed by a 2016 showdown between Wisconsin and LSU, and the most recent, a 2021 victory for Notre Dame over Wisconsin at Soldier Field in Chicago.
Notre Dame enters the contest with a perfect 12‑0 record in Shamrock Series games, the most recent a 49‑14 win over Army at Yankee Stadium in 2024. Quarterback CJ Carr, now in his second season, posted 2,741 passing yards and 24 touchdowns last year, establishing himself as the linchpin of the Fighting Irish offense.
Wisconsin will be looking to break the series drought, having met Notre Dame once before in the 2021 Shamrock Series, which ended with a 41‑13 triumph for the Irish. The upcoming neutral‑site game adds another chapter to a rivalry that has been played on college football’s most unconventional stages.
The matchup not only showcases the resurgence of both programs but also underscores the growing appeal of neutral‑site contests as a way to bring college football to new audiences. Fans will gather at Lambeau Field to witness a high‑stakes battle that could shape the early narrative of the 2026 season.
