How to watch Notre Dame football game vs. Duke
Notre Dame plays on ABC for the second time this season, as the Irish take on the Duke Blue Devils at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, N.C. The Irish won their first ABC game 45-24 in Raleigh, N.C. against North Carolina State.
Saturday night’s game can also be streamed on WatchESPN or the ESPN app.
The Irish will get ESPN/ABC’s “A-team” of announcers, with one change. Chris Fowler, usually the play-by-play voice of Saturday Night Football on ABC or ESPN, will be in London as he prepares to call Falcons vs. Jaguars on ESPN+. College GameDay host Rece Davis will be the play-by-play announcer for the Duke game, alongside Kirk Herbstreit (analyst) and Holly Rowe (sideline reporter).
“I think you look at the pieces of what you would want for a [College Football] Playoff team, and they have it,” Davis said about Notre Dame this past Friday. “And [graduate quarterback] Sam [Hartman has] been a huge piece of that. He’s a terrific player, he’s been a great leader. He’s acclimated himself quickly. [Irish head coach] Marcus [Freeman] trusts him. It’s really been a perfect marriage for both.”
