Notre Dame, Wisconsin will have a Sunday kickoff for 2026 Lambeau Field game
Notre Dame's 2026 football game with Wisconsin at Lambeau Field will now have a Sunday kickoff.
The two schools announced Wednesday that they'll be facing off at the home of the NFL's Green Bay Packers on Sept. 6, 2026, in a game that will be televised by NBC. The 2026 game previously was set for a Saturday kickoff on Sept. 5.
This is part of a two-game, neutral-site series. Notre Dame defeated Wisconsin 41-13 at Chicago's Soldier Field in 2021.
The Lambeau Field matchup initially was supposed to take place in 2020, but that game got scrapped due to the pandemic and was rescheduled for 2026.
This will mark the first time Wisconsin has played at Lambeau Field since beating LSU 16-14 in 2016. The only other college football game ever to take place at Lambeau Field was a matchup between St. Norbert and Fordham in 1983.

Wolfsburg appoint Paul Simonis as their new head coach
Wolfsburg has announced that it has appointed Paul Simonis as its new head coach, replacing Ralph Hasenhüttl. The Dutch head coach joins from Eredivisie side Go Ahead Eagles and signs a contract in the Autostadt until 2027. Several names had been linked with the vacant Wolfsburg job following Hasenhüttl's exit earlier this season. Advertisement This season, Simonis led the Dutch side to their first-ever KNVB Cup win after they beat AZ Alkmaar in the final on penalties. It was their first major title win in 92 years. In the league, Go Ahead Eagles finished seventh. On joining Wolfsburg, Simonis said: 'I can't wait to take on this challenge and work with the team, the staff, and the environment. I had very good and comprehensive discussions at a high level with Peter Christiansen, Sebastian Schindzielorz, and also with Sebastian Rudolph. This immediately gave me the feeling that this decision was the right step. I'm really looking forward to working at a top level in a very strong and exciting league.' This season, Wolfsburg finished 11th and since qualifying for the Champions League under Oliver Glasner in the 2020/21 season, the Autostadt side have finished 12th, eighth, 12th and now 11th. They have also gone through four coaches with Mark van Bommel, Florian Kohfeldt, Niko Kovac, and now Hasenhüttl all getting the sack, despite spending a ridiculous amount of money in the transfer market.

Premier League 'under strain' despite record £6.3 bn revenues
The combined revenue of Premier League clubs rose to a record £6.3 billion ($8.5 billion, 7.5 billion euros) in the 2023/24 season, but fan unrest and worsening competitive balance are cause for concern, according to financial experts Deloitte. The rise in income for England's 20 top-flight clubs was fuelled by commercial income surpassing £2 billion for the first time and a rise in matchday revenue beyond £900 million. English clubs continue to enjoy a huge financial advantage over their European rivals. Spain's La Liga, the second highest revenue-generating league, earned just over half that amount at 3.8 billion euros, almost 50 percent of which came from Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, fan protests have become a common sight at Premier League stadiums over rising ticket prices and the squeezing out of local supporters to make way for more tourists willing to spend more for a special matchday experience. "There can be no doubt that the system in English football is under strain," said Tim Bridge, the lead partner in the Deloitte Sports Business Group. "Repeated reports of fan unrest at ticket price and accessibility demonstrate the challenge in the modern era of balancing commercial growth with the historic essence of a football club's role and position in society: as a community asset." There is also uncertainty over the implications of an incoming independent regulator for England's top five leagues. And for the past two seasons, all three promoted clubs from the Championship have been immediately relegated back to the second tier. "The financial implications of the 'yo-yo effect' on clubs, their spending, and overall competitiveness are major factors to address in order to continue attracting high levels of investment across the system," added Bridge in Deloitte's Annual Review of Football Finance. Total revenue of European clubs rose by eight percent in the 2023/24 campaign to 38 billion euros, boosted by increased commercial revenue and stadium developments. The women's game also continues to grow commercially, particularly in England's Women's Super League (WSL). Collective revenues in the WSL rose 34 percent to £65 million in 2023/24 and are projected to reach £100 million in the upcoming season. kca/nf Sign in to access your portfolio
