Notre Dame, Wisconsin finalize date for 2026 Lambeau game

Notre Dame and Wisconsin will meet at Lambeau Field on Sept. 6, 2006, in a game postponed from 2020.
The two teams were set to meet there on Oct. 3, 2020, but it was taken off the schedule because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Fighting Irish and Badgers met in what was dubbed the “Shamrock Series” at Soldier Field in Chicago in 2021, with No. 12 Notre Dame topping No. 18 Wisconsin 41-13. The teams had been set to play in consecutive seasons.
The rescheduled game is set for a Sunday at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, a day usually set aside for the Packers. But with weekend play not beginning in the NFL until the following weekend, the date was open on the calendar and put on the Labor Day weekend slate of college games.
Wisconsin last played at Lambeau Field on Sept. 3, 2016, when it beat No. 5 LSU 16-14.
Notre Dame will be making its Lambeau Field debut.
