Tonight marks the 98th meeting between Notre Dame and Navy on the football field. The Irish dominate the long-running series, 83-13-1. The teams have faced off every year since 1927, with the exception of the 2020 COVID season.
Notre Dame (6-2) is coming off a 25-10 win at Boston College while Navy (7-1) is coming off its first loss of the season, a 31-17 decision won by North Texas (8-1) in Denton, Texas.
A 25-10 win against the 1-8 Boston College Eagles wasn’t exactly awe-inspiring last weekend. Maybe all will be forgotten if Notre Dame can blow out a decent Navy squad at home in a rivalry game.

Notre Dame football vs. Navy predictions
Here are the South Bend Tribune staff predictions for the Notre Dame vs. Navy football game:
Mike Berardino, Notre Dame football beat reporter: No. 10 Notre Dame 42, Navy 14: Bad matchup for a poor-tackling Mid defense.
Tom Noie, columnist: No. 10 Notre Dame 45, Navy 14: Notre Dame has come too far to be tripped up/tricked by this Navy offense. The Irish roll again at home on a night when a field goal (from TBD) receives one of the loudest ovations.
Kyle Smedley, sports reporter: No 10. Notre Dame 38, Navy 13: The Irish kicker ― whoever that may be ― goes six-for-six with five extra points and a field goal. There was never anything wrong, we promise!
Austin Hough, sports editor: No. 10 Notre Dame 38, Navy 10: A tale as old as time ― a “good” Navy team gets blown out by the Irish. Why is this game at night again?
