The Miami Hurricanes will open the 2025 season in primetime versus Notre Dame on the Sunday night of Labor Day weekend, as announced by the Hurricanes' X account on Thursday. Notre Dame returns to Miami after defeating Penn State 27-24 in the 2025 Orange Bowl College Football Semifinals on Jan. 9.

Miami beat Notre Dame 41-8 in 2017 in the last game between the Hurricanes and Fighting Irish. Notre Dame finished the 2024 season 14-2 and was the national runner-up to Ohio State. Miami and Notre Dame will both have new quarterbacks entering the 2025 season.

Carson Beck transferred from Georgia to Miami. Notre Dame loses QB Riley Leonard, who had an exceptional season after transferring from Duke. Miami returns three starters on offense, all on the offensive line and five on defense. Both rosters will evolve through the spring when the 10-day April transfer portal window is open.

Miami currently has the No. 4 ranked 2025 transfer class per On3 and Notre Dame is No. 42. Outgoing Notre Dame transfers have a five-day window after the national championship game, which ends on Saturday to enter the transfer portal.
