Florida cancels home-and-home series with Notre Dame after SEC's move to 9-game league slates
The Gators invoked a contract clause tied to SEC schedule changes, ending the series without a financial penalty.
Florida canceled its home-and-home football series with Notre Dame scheduled for 2031 and 2032, utilizing a contract clause to avoid financial penalties.
The Southeastern Conference move to a nine-game conference schedule made maintaining the series difficult, as the Florida Gators already play Florida State annually.
Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin added Notre Dame to the schedule in 2021 during a push to upgrade the school's non-conference schedules. The Gators have since canceled series with Arizona State and Cal.
The Fighting Irish announced on Tuesday a new home-and-home series with Washington, scheduled for 2031 and 2034.
Colorado, scheduled for 2028 and 2029, remains the only non-conference home-and-home series left on Florida's future football schedule as the Gators continue eliminating Power Four opponents.
