How to watch Notre Dame football game vs. Central Michigan
Notre Dame returns to South Bend this week to face Central Michigan at 2:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. The game is available exclusively on Peacock, which streams every Fighting Irish home game.
This is the third consecutive season the Irish have played a Peacock-exclusive game. Every other home game will also be broadcast on NBC. This week, Jac Collinsworth, NBC’s primary Notre Dame announcer, will make his 2023 debut Saturday. Collinsworth missed Week 0 vs. Navy in Dublin, Ireland, and Week 1 vs. Tennessee State due to an undisclosed illness, but after appearing on the Football Night in America for the NFL season-opener this past Thursday and the season debut of Sunday Night Football this past Sunday, he’ll return to the booth in South Bend.
Joining Collinsworth will be game analyst Jason Garrett, sideline reporter Zora Stephenson and rules analyst Terry McAulay.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Game 4 for the Fighting Irish, which is the last game they’ll play against a non-Power Five team this season.
