This week, tens of thousands of Americans will flock to Dublin to watch Notre Dame take on the Navy Midshipmen and kick off the college football season in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic at Aviva Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 26. But, you don't have to be in Dublin to join the experience.
On Friday, Aug. 25, watch Le Cheile, a celebration of Ireland and America’s finest musical and dance talent hosted by Mike Golic live at 3:00 p.m. EST. This dynamic event will also feature Riverdance performers, Imelda May, Sharon Shannon, Lyra, Tolü Makay, The High Kings, Martin Short, and, of course, members of the Band of the Fighting Irish.
From 6 - 7 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 26, Notre Dame will offer a large, open-air Mass at the historically important site of Dublin Castle. Watch the livestream of the Mass here.
Then, at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, cheer on the Irish as they kick off against Navy on NBC/Peacock. Watch the game at Rohr's or attend a game watch party at Legends. Visit https://legends.nd.edu/events/ for more information and tickets.
