Notre Dame Will Host Tennessee State in 2023

Notre Dame has announced it will open the home slate in 2023 with Tennessee State on Sept. 2, 2023.

“We’re excited to bring a pair of great academic institutions that are steeped in tradition together in 2023,” said University Vice President and James E. Rohr Director of Athletics Jack Swarbrick in a statement. “None of this would be possible without Dr. (Mikki) Allen and Coach (Eddie) George’s vision for what this game can represent to our Universities. I’m thrilled we’re able to bring the Tigers and the Irish together for a weekend that will feature programs with over 20 combined national titles, the Aristocrat of Bands and the Band of the Fighting Irish.”

It will be the first time the Fighting Irish will face a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) as Eddie George will lead the Tigers to South Bend. 

“TSU and Notre Dame are two iconic programs that have helped shape today’s college athletics landscape,” said Dr. Mikki Allen, TSU Director of Athletics in statement.

“We are setting the foundation for long-term success under Coach George’s leadership. The goal is that TSU will be a destination program for the next generation of student-athletes to come.”

Notre Dame will open the 2023 season in Dublin, Ireland against Navy. 

Both programs will hold a press conference at Notre Dame on Wednesday afternoon.
