NOTRE DAME TO FACE WISCONSIN AT LAMBEAU FIELD IN SHAMROCK SERIES ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2026
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame Football's 2026 Shamrock Series game presented by Credit Union 1 will now be played on Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026 vs. Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers. The game will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock.
The game was originally scheduled to be played in 2020 and was rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic for Sept. 5, 2026. It has now been scheduled for a Sunday matchup. The game is the second installment of the two-game series with Wisconsin, the first of which was played at Soldier Field in 2021, a 41-13 Notre Dame win.
Notre Dame will serve as the home team in this Shamrock Series game, the first game the Irish have played at Lambeau Field. The historic stadium has hosted just two college football games in history: St. Norbert vs. Fordham in 1983 and Wisconsin vs. LSU in 2016.
Lambeau Field is named for Curly Lambeau, a former Notre Dame Football player (1918) and founder of the Green Bay Packers.
The Shamrock Series began in 2009 when Notre Dame started to 'take a home game on the road' in San Antonio. The Irish defeated Washington State, 40-14, in the Alamodome and have hosted 12 Shamrock Series games across the country, including Landover, Md; Chicago, Ill.; Arlington, Texas; Indianapolis, Ind., Las Vegas, Nev. and Bronx, N.Y..
Shamrock Series game weekends feature more than just the game, as the University will plan a number of educational, service and fan-centric events in the area leading up to the game.

Rivals250 2026 CB Khary Adams commits to Notre Dame
Notre Dame earned a big victory on the recruiting trail, landing a verbal commitment from class of 2026 four-star cornerback Khary Adams on Friday. Adams, who currently attends Loyola Blakefield High School in Towson, Maryland, is a member of the Rivals250, checking in at No. 246 nationally. He also ranks as the No. 5 prospect in the state of Maryland and the No. 19 cornerback in the 2026 cycle. Advertisement He is coming off of his official visit to South Bend during the weekend of June 13 through June 15 and the Fighting Irish did enough to convince Adams to join Notre Dame. Penn State was previously considered the front-runner for Adams, following his official visit to Happy Valley from May 16 through May 18, but ultimately Notre Dame checked off all the boxes for what Adams was looking for in a program. "Scheme, the environment and the plan they have for me," Adams previously told Rivals when asked what is important to him in his recruitment. "And also NIL (is a factor)." He will play his college football under head coach Marcus Freeman, defensive coordinator Chris Ash, defensive backs coach/defensive pass game coordinator Mike Mickens and the rest of the Notre Dame staff. Adams also took recent official visits to Oregon, South Carolina, Michigan and Maryland as well. Advertisement In addition to the schools mentioned above, Adams received scholarship offers from Arizona, Auburn, Boston College, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Kentucky, LSU, Maryland, Miami (FL.), Michigan State, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse, Tennessee, USC, Virginia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Wisconsin and others. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Adams is a play-making defensive back with great speed thanks to his track and field background. He is strong in pass coverage in both man-to-man and zone concepts and possesses impressive ball skills. Adams also plays wide receiver for the Dons and is electric with the ball in his hands. As a junior in 2024, Adams earned first-team MIAA "A" All-Conference honors as a defensive back. He recorded 39 tackles, two tackles for loss, four interceptions, 12 pass break-ups and two fumble recoveries. Offensively, Adams amassed 31 receptions for 703 yards (22.7 yards per catch) and eight touchdowns. With Adams' commitment, Notre Dame's 2026 class now includes 18 total pledges. The Fighting Irish currently rank fifth in the national recruiting team rankings. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH PENN STATE FANS AT

Jonathan Toews returning to NHL with hometown Winnipeg Jets
WINNIPEG - Three-time Stanley Cup champion Jonathan Toews is returning to the NHL and signing with his hometown Winnipeg Jets. The Jets announced they've agreed to a one-year contract with Toews. The value of his contract was not revealed. Toews missed the past two NHL seasons after stepping away from hockey, citing the effects of Chronic Immune Response Syndrome and long COVID. The longtime Chicago Blackhawks captain helped lead the franchise to Stanley Cup championships in 2010, 2013 and 2015, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in 2010. He also claimed Olympic gold with Canada in 2010 and 2014. Toews has 372 goals and 511 assists in 1,067 career NHL games. The 37-year-old centre won the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the NHL's top defensive forward in 2013 and the Mark Messier Leadership Award in 2015. 'I'm grateful to be making my return to the NHL with the Winnipeg Jets,' Toews said in a statement. 'It's very special to come home and play in front of my family and friends in Manitoba. The Jets have been on the rise over the last few seasons, and I'm eager to join the group and help however I can.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 20, 2025.

What happened to Jonathan Toews in 2-year absence before Jets contract?
Jonathan Toews is officially back in the NHL after a multi-year hiatus. The three-time Stanley Cup champion and former Chicago Blackhawks captain reportedly signed a one-year deal with his hometown Winnipeg Jets and will be back on the ice in 2025-26. It's been a long road for Toews, who announced he was stepping away from hockey for health reasons in August 2023, but refused to call it a retirement. Now at 37 years old and, hopefully, back to full strength the former Selke-winner is ready to revive his career. If you haven't been following along, here's what Toews has been up to since he last took the ice. What happened to Jonathan Toews? Toews' struggles really began years before his hiatus. The center missed the pandemic-shortened 2020-21 season while dealing with chronic inflammatory response syndrome. He planned to return for the 2021-22 season, but that return was complicated by lingering effects of long COVID and CIRS. The 2021-22 health problems stretched into 2022-23, a season in which he played just 53 games and scored a career-low 31 points as the Blackhawks continued to crater in the standings. Toews' contract expired at the end of the season, along with Patrick Kane's, and the Blackhawks declined to re-sign their captain and accept it was time to rebuild. That led to Toews taking a break from hockey, though he always made clear his intentions to return. What did Toews do on his hiatus? A week or so after announcing he was stepping away, Toews began his hiatus by... playing hockey. He participated in Marian Hossa's farewell exhibition fundraiser in Trenčín, Slovakia and then began his adventures off the ice. He took up surfing, attended Burning Man and then went on a healing journey to India in December 2024. After his trip, Toews told GQ's Matthew Roberson his health issues began much earlier than was previously known: "If I do look back on my career, I always kind of had digestive issues, immune system issues—nothing seriously chronic or diagnosed when I was young—but definitely in my teenage years I was always battling something. "Early in my career, it was probably my second season in the NHL, I kept getting sick, I couldn't sleep at night, all these things where it just finally got to the point where I was like, 'All right.' I always thought, in my mind, that everyone else just felt that way and that was just normal, but then it got so bad that I barely made it through the playoffs that year." Notably, the GQ conversation ended with Toews declaring he was still itching to get back on the ice. In March 2025, Toews took those comments a step further by declaring his intention to return to the NHL. "I'm not satisfied the way things ended in Chicago," Toews told Mark Lazerus of The Athletic. "It's not about proving anything. It's just that there's something left in the tank, and I want to explore that. I want to go have fun, have a blast, play with passion. 'I want to be able to step away from the game having said that I've given it my all.' Now he's got his chance.
