Notre dame faces wisconsin at lambeau field in shamrock series

Notre Dame Football’s 2026 Shamrock Series game presented by Credit Union 1 will now be played on Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026 vs. Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers. The game was originally scheduled to be played in 2020 and was rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic for Sept. 5, 2026. It has now been scheduled for a Sunday matchup. The game is the second installment of the two-game series with Wisconsin, the first of which was played at Soldier Field in 2021, with Notre Dame exploding for 31 unanswered fourth quarter points in a 41-13 victory. The highlight of the game was Chris Tyree’s 96-yard kickoff return that broke a 13-13 tie early in the 4th quarter.

Notre Dame will serve as the home team in this Shamrock Series game, the first game the Irish have played at Lambeau Field. The historic stadium has hosted just two college football games in history: St. Norbert vs. Fordham in 1983 and Wisconsin vs. LSU in 2016. 

The Shamrock Series began in 2009 when Notre Dame started to ‘take a home game on the road’ in San Antonio. The Irish defeated Washington State, 40-14, in the Alamodome and have hosted 12 Shamrock Series games across the country, including Landover, Md; Chicago, Ill.; Arlington, Texas; Indianapolis, Ind., Las Vegas, Nev. and Bronx, N.Y.. 

The Shamrock Series has been an incredible resource in recruiting in these areas and the recent success in the Chicagoland area and Wisconsin will be bolstered by this matchup as the eyes of top high schoolers in he Midwest will be focused on two historical programs in one of the most historic venues in football.
