Notre Dame and Purdue football will meet six times in eight years between 2021 and 2028, Purdue announced Thursday.

The two Indiana football schools had previously announced a 4-game series, but have now altered it to six.

Notre Dame and Purdue have played 86 times in football, including every year from 1946-2014. Prior to that last game in 2014 won by the Irish at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, the Notre Dame-Purdue game was tied for the 4th longest uninterrupted football series in Division 1-A football.

Purdue athletics director Mike Bobinski, a 1979 Notre Dame graduate and a four-year member of the Fighting Irish baseball team, is looking forward to the expansion.

“Having been on the other side of the series some years ago, I am familiar with the history and tradition of the Purdue-Notre Dame matchup," said in a statement released by Purdue. "Sellout crowds, national television, two outstanding universities in close proximity and intensely competitive games. I am excited that the series will resume and know our fans will be, as well.”

Notre Dame has won the last seven meetings with the Boilermakers and the Irish lead the all-time series 58-26-2.
