Notre Dame doesn’t play football on weekdays very often, most recently doing so in the regular season on Labor Day 2019 when they opened the season with a 35-17 win at Louisville.
Previous to that you have to go all the way back to 1996 when the Irish opened the season with an impressive 14-7 victory on a Thursday night at Vanderbilt.
Notre Dame will be playing at North Carolina on Friday, Nov. 27 and we now know what time we’ll be glued to our television sets as kickoff was officially announced for 3:30 p.m. ET that day.

On paper this game against North Carolina and Mack Brown appears to be Notre Dame’s tallest remaining hurdle ahead of the potential ACC Championship Game.
The game will be broadcast on ABC and will be Notre Dame’s eighth trip all-time to Chapel Hill. The Irish are 5-2 in those match-ups and 18-2 all-time against the Tar Heels.
