## Resource

Notre Dame football enters the 2026 season with massive expectations, and this full game-by-game preview breaks down the Irish schedule, the biggest tests against Wisconsin, BYU, Miami and SMU, and a potential path through the College Football Playoff. Locked On Irish host Tyler Wojciak starts with Notre Dame’s September slate, moves into a challenging midseason stretch featuring a hostile trip to BYU and a potentially massive showdown with Miami, then closes with the final three games before revealing his official regular-season record and predicting exactly how far the Irish will go in the College Football Playoff.
