Summary

Notre Dame Unbeaten

Notre Dame enters the 2026 Shamrock Series unbeaten at 12-0.
The 2026 game is the first Shamrock Series at Lambeau Field and the third college football contest there.
Paul Hornung, 1956 Notre Dame Heisman winner and later NFL champion with the Packers, inspired the block-shaped number design.
Under Armour supplies both teams’ alternate kits, its first year representing both sides in a Shamrock Series matchup.

History

Historical Context

After the Packers moved all home games to Lambeau Field in 1995, the stadium hosted its first college contest that year when Wisconsin beat Notre Dame 38-7 before 55,000 fans. The 2026 Shamrock Series revives that neutral showcase, pairing the Badgers and Fighting Irish again at Lambeau, now featuring Under Armour sponsorship and red kits honoring the nation’s 250th anniversary.
