The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Alabama Crimson Tide have agreed to pay $3 million is they want to back out of planned football games in either 2028 and 2029, according to the contract released Monday through an open records request.

The agreement, signed April 5, stipulates that the program canceling the game must pay $750,000 if notice is received more than two years before the scheduled date of the affected game; $1.5 million if notice is given between 1 and 2 years out; and $3 million if it’s given less than a year before the date.

It’s not considered a breach if Alabama cancels the game because they have to play more than eight games against Southeastern Conference opponents as a condition of remaining a member. Ditto for Notre Dame and its five game obligation to the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Other contract details for the games — which will be played Sept. 2, 2028 at Notre Dame Stadium and Sept. 1, 2029 at Bryant-Denny Stadium — include:
