The No. 4 Notre Dame Fighting Irish take on the Wisconsin Badgers at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. this weekend in Week 1 of the 2026 College Football Season.
This game is part of the Shamrock Series, which means that while the Irish are playing in the Badgers home state, they’re still considered the home team. Notre Dame is coming off a stunning playoff snub in 2025, while Wisconsin would love to start the season off with an upset victory over the Irish.
