Notre Dame completes 2027 football schedule with addition of Virginia

Notre Dame has locked in its final opponent for the 2027 slate, completing its upcoming schedule by scheduling a road trip to face Virginia. The announcement means the Fighting Irish will play half a dozen Atlantic Coast Conference matchups during that campaign, featuring contests against Clemson, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Duke, and Stanford alongside the Cavaliers.

While supporters will only get five home dates inside Notre Dame Stadium that year, the program maintains its scheduling philosophy of facing ten Power Four programs and two Group of Six opponents.

The upcoming matchup in Charlottesville adds another chapter to a series where Notre Dame holds an unblemished five-win record against Virginia, having last met on the gridiron in 2024. The full 2027 itinerary features visits with Purdue, Michigan State, Auburn, Kent State, Navy, BYU, and others at various home and away sites.

With this final puzzle piece secured, the team continues its model of robust scheduling despite perennial scrutiny from observers.
