Notre Dame to open 2025 season at Miami

Get ready to pack for South Beach.

Notre Dame and Miami always will be tied together by the Catholics vs. Convicts game in 1988. Despite the storied history of both programs though, they only have met 27 times and not at all since 2017. That will change in 2025, and we now know when, too.

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald is reporting that the Hurricanes will host the Irish to kick off the 2025 season. While the exact date is not yet known, the game will take place on Labor Day weekend.

The last meeting between the teams also took place in Miami, and it wasn’t a great game for the Irish. The Hurricanes dominated, 41-8, ending a seven-game Irish winning streak.

This game will mark the beginning of a renewal of the rivalry between the programs. They are scheduled to meet seven times between then and the 2037 season. While it’s a far cry from the 19 meetings they had over 20 seasons beginning in 1971, it still is something to look forward to.
