ESPN College GameDay Set for Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M in Week 1 of 2024 CFB Schedule

The NFL isn't the only football-related scheduling event being released this week.

ESPN announced on Tuesday that College Gameday will be at College Station for the Notre Dame-Texas A&M game for Week 1 of the college football season on Aug. 31.

The network also announced the Fighting Irish-Aggies matchup will cap off an ABC tripleheader that will start with Clemson vs. Georgia at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta at 12 p.m. ET, followed by Miami vs. Florida at 3:30 p.m. ET.

ESPN previously announced College Gameday will have its first-ever broadcast outside of the United States for the Week 0 game between Florida State and Georgia Tech on Aug. 24 at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.

Notre Dame and Texas A&M look to be in very different spots heading into the 2024 season. The Irish won 10 games last season for the first time under head coach Marcus Freeman. They are viewed as a potential top-five team with the addition of Duke quarterback Riley Leonard in the transfer portal.

Texas A&M ended the disappointing Jimbo Fisher era after a 6-4 start last season. ESPN's Pete Thamel noted Fisher's firing cost the school more than $76 million from the buyout on his contract.

Mike Elko, who was Leonard's head coach at Duke for the past two seasons, was hired to turn the Aggies around. He spent four years as Texas A&M's defensive coordinator from 2018 to '21 prior to his two-year stint with the Blue Devils.

This will be the sixth game all-time between Notre Dame and Texas A&M. The Aggies won the most recent matchup 24-3 at Kyle Field on Sept. 29, 2001.
