ESPN’s College GameDay is heading to Durham, North Carolina, to the campus of Duke University for the first time in the show’s illustrious history.
The nationally ranked Blue Devils, under second-year coach Mike Elko, will be hosting college football power Notre Dame. Fresh off of an appearance on the campus of Notre Dame ahead of that school’s Week 4 showdown with Ohio State, GameDay will now head to Durham for its second Notre Dame game in as many weeks.
ESPN announced the news late Saturday night and released an epic hype video just for the occasion.
FOR THE FIRST TIME ... DURHAM HERE WE COME! 🗣️

The Blue Devils moved to 4-0 on the season with a 41–7 rout at winless UConn on Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, Notre Dame is fresh off a heartbreaking 17–14 defeat at the hands of the Buckeyes in South Bend.
It should be a great game in Durham and an outstanding atmosphere on the campus of Duke next Saturday.
