The home of the New England Patriots will host two of the nation's oldest football programs, as Navy and Notre Dame will do battle at Gillette Stadium in 2026.

So, as I scan my ticket for my last home game on Saturday, I’m filled with gratitude. Thank you, Notre Dame Stadium, for letting me be a part of something that is bigger than myself. Thanks for reminding me that four years, while quick, are filled with plenty of moments that make them unforgettable.

Another storied college football rivalry is headed to Gillette Stadium, which will host the Navy-Notre Dame game on Oct. 31, 2026.

It was announced Tuesday that the 2026 Navy-Notre Dame game will be played at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

For the first time ever, Gillette Stadium will host the Navy-Notre Dame, one of the biggest rivalry games in college football. The game won't take place for almost two years from now, though, in 2026.
