On what channel is the Notre Dame football game today? TV schedule, streaming options, and more

No. 9 Notre Dame football is set to host Central Michigan this Saturday, with head coach Marcus Freeman eyeing a 4-0 start to the 2023 college football season. Freeman's second year with the team has brought a stark contrast.

Last year began on a disastrous note for the Fighting Irish. They suffered an early-season loss to Marshall, marking their first 0-2 start since 2011. The 2023 season was highlighted by a 45-24 victory over NC State, extending their regular-season winning streak against ACC opponents to 29.

Central Michigan, after a dramatic win over New Hampshire, faces its biggest challenge against the Fighting Irish. Emamuel Jr., who made his first start as a true freshman in four games, now holds the starting QB position at Central Michigan. The son of former NFL WR Bert Emanuel could be a future star if he realizes his dual-threat potential.
