Notre Dame, USC in Discussions to Resume Rivalry Series
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and USC Trojans football programs have squared off 96 times since 1926, with the latest meeting in the 2026 season. This is one of the best rivalries in college football, but as of now, there are no scheduled matchups in the future. According to Ryan Kartje of the Los Angeles Times, the two schools have recently begun active discussions for resuming the rivalry. Kartje said it's possible the two schools still won't meet until the 2030 season, given their current scheduling agreements with other programs, but the negotiations have begun to restore the must-see game at some point in the future. Based on what we know, Notre Dame wants to keep the game later in the season, while USC wants the game early in the year. That appears to be the main point of contention, and why the series was not renewed earlier.
