Notre Dame is one of six independent schools in NCAA Division I FBS in 2013, along with Army, Navy, Brigham Young, New Mexico State, and Idaho. Therefore, Notre Dame has more flexibility with regards to scheduling because it is not committed to playing eight or nine games within an athletic conference.[1] With the announcement of a move to the ACC in all other sports except hockey and football, Notre Dame has an agreement to play five ACC schools per season in football.[2] This leaves future schedules subject to change to accommodate 5 usually different ACC teams per year on a 3 year rotating basis.[3] Some information suggests currently scheduled and contracted games with ACC opponents Boston College, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Miami,and Wake Forest already on future schedules will not be altered.[4] Notre Dame traditional yearly rivalries expected to continue long term include Southern California, Stanford, and Navy.[5] The yearly Michigan series has been recently canceled beyond 2014 but is expected to be renewed in some fashion sometime in the next decade.[6] Current long term contracts still exist with Michigan State and Purdue.

The University of Notre Dame has finalized and released the 2013 football schedule.[14] This includes six home games at Notre Dame Stadium, five away games as the visiting team, and one neutral site game as the home team as part of the "Shamrock Series".

Template:CFB Schedule End TBA: A neutral site game will be added as part of the "Shamrock Series", with Notre Dame traveling to one home game outside of Indiana each year.[28] A previously scheduled game vs. Army in the Citrus Bowl is unlikely to be rescheduled unless stadium renovations can be completed in time.[29] The 2014 season has been previously reported as the first year Notre Dame will annually play 5 ACC opponents per year.[6] This would require an additional 3 games added against ACC opponents, which would necessitate dropping or rescheduling 2 previously scheduled non ACC opponents from the current projected schedule. Notre Dame athletic director, Jack Swarbrick, has stated that 2 away ACC games would coincide with the even year away Navy football games and 3 away ACC games would coincide with odd year home Navy football games.[30]
