Notre Dame and USC agree to resume football rivalry with a 4-game series starting in 2030
- On Monday, Notre Dame and USC announced a four-game football series resuming in 2030 through 2033, ending a scheduling pause that began after negotiations failed last year. The teams will retain their traditional home-and-home format.
- Negotiations stalled last year because USC sought earlier season dates to accommodate Big Ten Conference travel demands after joining the 18-team conference. Late-season matchups previously conflicted with the Trojans' College Football Playoff aspirations.
- The series resumes August 31, 2030, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, with the 2031 matchup in South Bend. The 2032 and 2033 games occur within the first three weeks of those seasons, before USC begins Big Ten Conference play.
- USC athletic director Jen Cohen said the resumption "means so much to the entire Trojan Family," while head coach Lincoln Riley noted the early-season timing allows the program to compete within the Big Ten while maintaining the historic rivalry.
- The storied rivalry, which began in 1926, has produced more than 1,000 NFL draftees across 96 meetings. The four-game agreement ensures the 'Battle for the Jeweled Shillelagh' continues into the next decade despite this year's pause.
