Notre Dame football adds familiar foe to its 2026 and 2027 schedule

The Megaphone Trophy will be on the line in 2026 and 2027

It’s never too early to be scheduling gaming for the coming seasons and on Thursday, Notre Dame football announced a home-and-home against Michigan State.

The two teams have met 79 total times, the first one happening all the way back in 1897, when the Irish prevailed. Notre Dame leads the all-time series against the Spartans 47-29-1, with the last meeting in 2017, an Irish 38-18 victory.

It’s great to see that the rivalry will continue, as Notre Dame has held the [autotag]Megaphone Trophy[/autotag] for the first time since 2013. The two teams have been back-and-forth since 2000, with MSU winning 8 games, while the Irish have been victorious in eight of those contests as well.
