Wisconsin (0-0) at No. 4 Notre Dame (0-0) — Game Preview
Wisconsin opens its season against No. 4 Notre Dame at Lambeau Field on September 6, 2026, with both programs still unbeaten and untested. The opener carries early weight for Notre Dame, which begins the year in the AP Top 25 and looks to open its FBS Independent schedule with a signature win before a full slate of ranked competition arrives later in the fall.
Notre Dame turns to C.J. Carr at quarterback, with the junior back under center after a full offseason as the Fighting Irish’s starter. Wisconsin counters with Colton Joseph, the Old Dominion transfer taking his first snaps for the Badgers in the opener. On defense, Notre Dame brings back cornerback Leonard Moore as part of a secondary that returns the bulk of last season’s starters.
Playing at Lambeau Field instead of Notre Dame Stadium gives the opener an unusual backdrop, with both rosters treating the trip to Green Bay as an early test of depth before conference play sets in.
