"College GameDay," which currently features host Rece Davis and analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee and Nick Saban, was last in South Bend for Notre Dame's 17-14 loss to Ohio State on Sept. 23 of last year. Since then, the show appeared prior to two Notre Dame road victories: at Duke for Notre Dame's 21-14 win on Sept. 30, 2023 and at Texas A&M for Notre Dame's 23-13 win on Aug. 31 of this year.

The first "College GameDay" aired from Notre Dame's campus ahead of the 1993 "Game of the Century" in which No. 2 Notre Dame defeated No. 1 Florida State 31-24. Notre Dame has a 6-5 record in home games played when College GameDay was on campus.
