There are few bigger brands in college football than Florida State and Notre Dame, and it’s always a massive television event when the Seminoles and Irish square off.

So it was no surprise on Wednesday when it was announced that the FSU-Notre Dame game on Nov. 9 will air once again in prime time. The game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET and air on both NBC and the streaming platform Peacock.

The last time Florida State and Notre Dame played, in 2021, the game reportedly drew 7.8 million television viewers, which was one of the 10 highest-rated games of that college football season.

Here is more from Florida State Sports Information about the game:

The Seminoles hold a 6-5 lead in the all-time series, which began in 1981 with a 19-13 FSU victory in South Bend. This season’s matchup is the third time in the last four games the teams will compete at Notre Dame Stadium after FSU also traveled there in 2018 and 2020.

The teams last met in the 2021 season opener, a Labor Day Sunday prime-time showcase in Tallahassee.

Florida State, the defending ACC champions after a 13-0 regular season in 2023, has three game times set for the 2024 season. It was announced earlier this month that FSU’s season opener on August 24 against Georgia Tech in Dublin, Ireland, has been selected for a noon Eastern Time kickoff on ESPN, and the Seminoles’ home opener against Boston College on September 2 will be a 7:30 p.m. start also on ESPN.
