Indiana-Notre Dame Football Series Canceled Amid Scheduling Realignment
A planned football series between Indiana University and the University of Notre Dame for the 2030 and 2031 seasons has been canceled due to scheduling conflicts, primarily caused by Notre Dame's renewed rivalry series with USC.

Indianapolis, IN, August 3, 2026 —
A previously scheduled football series between Indiana University and the University of Notre Dame for the 2030 and 2031 seasons has been canceled.
The cancellation is attributed to scheduling conflicts. According to reports, the primary driver for these conflicts is the University of Notre Dame’s renewed rivalry series with the University of Southern California (USC).
The arrangement would have seen the two in-state universities face off during those seasons. However, the need to accommodate Notre Dame’s games with USC has led to the realignment, impacting the planned series with Indiana.
Details regarding the specific scheduling challenges or potential future discussions for rescheduling the series were not immediately available.
