Notre Dame football has officially released its 2025 schedule, as they will look to make a return trip to the College Football Playoff.

Notre Dame has now completed its 2025 football schedule thanks to the addition of Stanford to the schedule and the ACC releasing its dates for the 2025 season. Notre Dame now has all 12 opponents and dates for its 2025 season, which will be season four of the Marcus Freeman era.

We now know the entire 2025 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football schedule, including dates and home/away locations. The Irish have seven home games on the schedule. Notre Dame will also face several teams that are considered rivals. Navy, USC, Boston College, and Stanford are on the schedule.

Notre Dame finishes a difficult early-season slate with a home game against Boise State on Oct. 4. The Irish and Broncos have never previously met. Boise State went 12-2 in 2024 and was the No. 3 seed in the CFP before falling to Penn State in the quarterfinals. Heisman Trophy runner-up running back Ashton Jeanty is off to the NFL.

Two of Notre Dame's ACC foes have a bye the week before facing the Irish: Pittsburgh and Syracuse. N.C. State faces FCS-level Campbell as a prelude to its trip to South Bend, while Boston College plays at Louisville, and Stanford hosts archrival California the week before facing Notre Dame.

Notre Dame's tough 2025 schedule demands a strong start. See why early wins are critical for playoff hopes and navigating a difficult season.

A 12th regular-season opponent remains to be scheduled for Notre Dame football in 2025. A trip to Stanford would make the most sense.
