Notre Dame and USC agree to resume their longstanding football rivalry with a new four-game series beginning in 2030, after a brief pause driven by scheduling disputes. The schools finalize a future scheduling agreement that brings the matchup back to the calendar after they had discussed the series’ importance for about two years.
Under the agreement, USC hosts Notre Dame in Los Angeles for the series opener on August 31, 2030. Notre Dame then hosts USC in South Bend, Indiana on August 30, 2031. Additional games in the four-year run complete the series, though the specific dates and venues beyond the first two meetings are not detailed in the provided reports.
The renewed schedule marks a return for a matchup that was previously played each non-pandemic season from 1946 to 2025, typically in October or November. The new series is intended to reestablish the tradition of a frequent late-season contest between the two programs.
