Florida Cancels Future Home-And-Home Series With Notre Dame

Florida has canceled its future home-and-home football series with Notre Dame that was scheduled for the 2031 and 2032 seasons, according to the Associated Press.

The Gators were originally scheduled to travel to South Bend on November 15, 2031, before hosting the Fighting Irish in Gainesville the following season.

However, Florida exercised a clause in its contract that allowed the school to cancel the series without a financial penalty after the SEC expanded to a nine-game conference schedule beginning in 2026.

With nine SEC games and an annual rivalry matchup against Florida State, the Gators elected to remove Notre Dame from their future schedules.

Florida previously canceled future home-and-home series with Arizona State, California, and NC State following the SEC's scheduling changes.

Notre Dame has since announced a new home-and-home series with Washington, with games scheduled for 2031 and 2034.

Florida and Notre Dame have met just once in football, with the Fighting Irish defeating the Gators 39-28 in the 1992 Sugar Bowl.

Don't blame Florida. No credit is given for a tough schedule.

Gators will need to replace them with a directional type school if they want to be bowl eligible.

They don't want Notre Dame to have any type of narrative if they lose to the Irish.

Weak considering a 24 team playoff. They absolutely will factor in tough schedules. Auburn/Notre Dame series starts next year.
