Notre Dame will kickoff the 2020 football season away from home… a long way from home to be exact.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will take on the Navy Midshipmen on Saturday, Aug. 29 at AVIVA Stadium and kickoff is set for 7 pm Dublin/GMT, which is 2 pm ET.

The game will air on ESPN.

“The University of Notre Dame, our football program, our alumni and fans had such a wonderful experience in 2012,” said Notre Dame Director of Athletics Jack Swarbrick. “The people of Ireland were incredibly welcoming and made our time on the Emerald Isle unforgettable. It wasn’t long after our return from that trip that Navy initiated conversations with the hopes of bringing this matchup back to Dublin. Chet and his staff at Navy deserve a ton of credit for making this a reality. I’m so excited, not only for our student-athletes and those that will travel from the states, but for the people of Ireland and all of those that will make this another experience to cherish.”

The Navy-Notre Dame rivalry is the longest continuous intersectional rivalry in college football with the two schools having met every year since 1927. This past season marked the 90th matchup between the two programs, which the Fighting Irish won in dominant fashion, 52-20, inside Notre Dame Stadium on Nov. 16.

“We are thrilled and excited to return to Aviva Stadium in Dublin for the 94th playing of the Navy-Notre Dame game,” said Navy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk. “In 2012, it was one of the greatest airlifts in all of sports with more than 35,000 people coming from the United States to witness the beauty of Ireland and the extravaganza that is Navy-Notre Dame and we expect just as many people to return in 2020. The support and enthusiasm for the game in Ireland is magnificent with the complete support from the Prime Minister and the Irish government agencies. We are looking forward to a great matchup in a country that knows no bounds for hospitality.”
