All six home games and the Shamrock Series in Green Bay, Wisconsin, will be broadcast on NBC as Notre Dame and NBC Sports embark on the 30th season of their partnership.
Coming off three consecutive seasons with at least 10 victories, Dick Corbett Head Football Coach Brian Kelly and his squad will open the home slate on Sept. 12 when Arkansas visits for a 2:30 p.m. ET kickoff.
