BREAKING: USC and Notre Dame to Renew Storied Rivalry in Four-Game Series Beginning in 2030

LOS ANGELES, CA— USC and Notre Dame will renew their storied rivalry and compete once again for the Jeweled Shillelagh beginning in 2030 with a four-game series.

The Trojans and the Fighting Irish will reignite college football’s greatest intersectional rivalry when they meet at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Week 1 of the 2030 season. The series will then shift to Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ind., in Week 1 of the 2031 season.

Matchups in 2032 and 2033 will also be played as part of the series. Official dates for those games will be announced at a later time, but each contest will take place during Weeks 1-3 of the respective season.

USC owns a 37-53-5 all-time record against Notre Dame, excluding the Trojans’ 2005 victory, which was later vacated due to NCAA sanctions (original record: 38-53-5).

One of college football’s most iconic rivalries is officially back on the books. After a multi-year pause, Trojan and Irish fans can look forward to the return of early-season battles that have produced some of the sport’s most memorable moments.
