ESPN had originally scheduled Miami vs. Clemson for their primetime slot, prompting the change. The Irish will now face the Tar Heels with a 11 a.m. CDT kickoff, marking the earliest start time of the 2026 season for Notre Dame, as they have typically played midafternoon or nighttime games in prior contests. The coaching staff may adjust practices to help the team adjust to the time change. Notre Dame will travel to North Carolina to face them at noon ET, with the game airing on ESPN.",
