New Peacock Docuseries Goes in the Huddle with Notre Dame Football's 2024 Season
Go behind the scenes with one of the most historic programs in college football history.
Even as the summer heat lingers, you can almost feel it in the air: college football is just around the corner, and the excitement as the days tick down to the start of the 2024 football season is almost palpable.
Of course, that goes double if you happen to be hanging anywhere within scoring distance of South Bend, Indiana, where the buzz surrounding the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (all 2024 Irish home games can be caught exclusively on NBC and Peacock) couldn’t be thicker, as one of the game’s most storied programs preps for a marquee season opener against a hungry SEC foe.

Here Come the Irish drops its first pair of episodes beginning Thursday, August 29, followed all throughout the 2024 season with new installments that offer never-before-seen access into Notre Dame’s rich gridiron tradition.
