Notre Dame Fighting Irish football future schedule

Notre Dame is one of four independent schools in NCAA Division I FBS, along with Army, Navy and Brigham Young. Therefore, Notre Dame has much flexibility with regards to scheduling because it is not committed to playing seven to nine games within its athletic conference.^[1]

This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
