NOTRE DAME, Ind. — The University of Notre Dame and Central Michigan University football programs have scheduled a matchup between the two teams set to take place on Sept. 16, 2023, at Notre Dame Stadium.
The date will mark the first-ever meeting between the two teams. Notre Dame is 8-0 against teams from the Mid-American Conference (MAC), with the last game against a MAC team being the 52-0 win over Bowling Green on Oct. 5, 2019 (Notre Dame Stadium).
In the upcoming 2021 football season, the Irish are slated to face their ninth MAC game in the Sept. 11 home opener, hosting Toledo — also the first meeting between the two teams.
After taking on Toledo and Central Michigan, Notre Dame will have played 7-of-12 current MAC member institutions.
