How to Watch Notre Dame Football with Sling
With a talented roster and proven head coach, the Fighting Irish are looking to get back to the CFP. Here’s how you can watch every Notre Dame game with Sling.
Under fifth-year head coach Marcus Freeman, No. 5-ranked Notre Dame enters 2026 with clear college football championship aspirations. The Fighting Irish are determined to erase past early-season struggles, beginning with a marquee Shamrock Series opener against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field. The team’s potent offense is led by standout redshirt sophomore quarterback CJ Carr, who returns after throwing 24 touchdowns last season. He is supported by a deeply talented offensive line and receiving corps. Defensively, the Irish boast one of the nation's premier units, anchored by All-American cornerback Leonard Moore, a projected top-five NFL Draft pick. With crucial home tests against Michigan State, Stanford, and a highly anticipated November revenge matchup against Miami, Notre Dame possesses the massive roster depth required to secure a coveted playoff berth.
