I have not seen any confirmation re notre dame's rights.

In the US, nbc have rights to notre dame's 6 home games (starting 12th september) and the season opening Shamrock Series on 6th September. However I can not seen confirmation that this is still in 2026.

You could email viewer relations at viewerR@sky.uk

Overall, ncaa college football rights in uk & Ireland seem mostly split between DAZN and Disney plus with content.

Though on Disney plus, they just call it "ncaa - football" when searching so hopefully it is American football (they do use "ncaa - women's soccer" for women's soccer so that would indicate by football, they probably mean American Football hopefully.

Disney plus list also has water polo and volleyball on the upcoming schedule.

It's under American Football in the ESPN section

DAZN is now subscription rather than free

That is strange as the first ND game on NBC is not that one but one on Sunday the 6th against Wisconsin. I just checked Skys listings and it isn't there

@Irish737788

Unfortunately it is a late match

I checked the listings last night on sky q epg, and it is there on Sky Sports Action but starts at 12:30am (Sunday night/Monday morning)

Also to note, next sunday night/Monday morning match is at the iconic Lambeau, home of the Green Bay Packers, so it is a neutral venue (rather than a straight home game for each college)

The match at Lambeau was originally set for 3rd October 2020 so only a 6 year postponement

Notre Dame, more importantly though, are the designated home team.

Hello

I previoulsy had NCAA Live Football added to my playlist on my Sky Glass TV, it did show the Wisconsin and Rice games and when I checked Friday night it showed the upcoming game against Michigan State.

I got up today (Sunday) and the Live NCAA Football is now gone from my playlist, when I search for it no Notre Dame games are listed (just a load of games on DAZN). I have rebooted the Sky Glass and used Manage All to add the NCAA Live Football but nothing shows in my playlist.

When I checked DAZN they did not show the game last night so I'm now wondering if you can no longer watch Notre Dame home games in the UK?

Playlist Errors

Last night I checked to make sure that the Notre Dame Vs Michigan State game was added to my playlist. It was, but there is no sign of it in the playlist today. Any thoughts why this may have happened and whether it is possible to get it added after the fact?

Hello

As an update I did as Nolte suggested ad e mailed SKy. The rsponse I got was:

"On checking our schedules Sky Sports did not broadcast the Notre Dame v Michgan game.

There were last minute schedule changes hence this match was not in your Playlist later on"

No indication why the match was removed and is a bit worrying now for any future home games.
