Gillette Stadium and New England will welcome the historic Navy-Notre Dame Game for the first time in the 99-game series history on Oct. 31, 2026.

The 2026 installment of Navy-Notre Dame will mark the Fighting Irish’s first time playing at Gillette Stadium, and the Midshipmen’s second appearance at the home of the New England Patriots and Revolution after competing there in the 2023 Army-Navy Game presented by USAA. Navy will be the home team for the 2026 iteration of the game, while Notre Dame will be the visiting team.

The history of the Navy-Notre Dame Game dates back to 1927, when two of the nation’s oldest football programs first met on the field. The series was the longest continuous intersectional rivalry in college football, playing 93 consecutive years from 1927-2019, before COVID-19 canceled the 2020 game.
