The Florida Gators and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have scheduled a home-and-home football series for 2031 and 2032, both schools announced on Tuesday.
The series will kick off with Florida traveling to take on Notre Dame at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ind., on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2031. The Gators will then host the Fighting Irish at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Fla., on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2032, which will conclude the two-game series.
Florida and Notre Dame have only met once previously on the gridiron. In the Sugar Bowl on January 1, 1992, the Fighting Irish defeated the Gators 39-28.
Notre Dame is the fourth non-conference opponent scheduled for the Florida Gators in 2031, and all four are against Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponents. The Gators are slated to open the season at the Texas Longhorns on Sept. 6 and later host the Arizona State Sun Devils on Sept. 13 and the Florida State Seminoles on Nov. 29.
In 2032, Florida is also scheduled to host the NC State Wolfpack on a date to be determined and travel to take on Florida State on Nov. 27.
Notre Dame, an FBS Independent, now has six games scheduled for both the 2031 and 2032 seasons. Other opponents scheduled for 2031 include NC State, Miami (FL), and Navy at home and Clemson, Virginia, and Pitt on the road.
Opponents scheduled for the 2032 season include Florida State, Louisville, and Wake Forest in South Bend and Georgia Tech, Miami (FL), and Navy on the road.
Football Schedules
Excellent series. We need more series like this. Both games should be a lot of fun.
Swarbs, honor that contract with BYU and get your a$$ out to Provo for a game. You’re on the verge of being a decade overdue!
The Texas game is getting cancelled or moved. No way Florida is playing at Texas and Notre Dame, and hosting Arizona State and Florida State, in the same year. They would only have five true home games, because they are the home team for Florida-Georgia in even-numbered seasons. Also, when the Arizona State was scheduled, it was announced as Sept. 6 or Sept 13.
I like it.
That Florida 2031 Schedule with Notre Dame, Texas, Florida St and Arizona St could be on of the toughest ever. I have seen a few 3 out of Conference Power 5 but never a 4, I know it is 10 years in advance but these are some big programs.
NOTRE DAME IS GONNA WIN!!! GO IRISH!
