Florida State will open the 2021-22 college football season with a prime-time matchup against Notre Dame in front of a nationally televised audience.
The Seminoles are set to host the Fighting Irish in Doak Campbell Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 5 at 7:30 p.m. with the game set to air on ABC. It’s the fourth time the programs have met in Tallahassee in the short 10-game series and the first since 2014.
It’s one of several prime-time games set for Labor Day weekend including Georgia-Clemson (Dec. 4) and Louisville-Ole Miss (Dec. 6). All three will air on ESPN Networks.
FSU holds a 6-4 edge in the series with Notre Dame but the Seminoles have lost two straight including last season’s 42-26 affair in South Bend.
The team’s Oct. 30 game at Clemson will also be broadcast on ESPN Networks.
FSU is coming off a 3-6 campaign in 2020, the first season under coach Mike Norvell.
