Notre Dame To Face UNLV In 2022

The Fighting Irish and Runnin Rebels will square off in 2022

Bryan Driskell | Mar 17, 2020

Notre Dame is almost done filling out its 2022 football schedule. The Fighting Irish are now up to 11 game that season after scheduling the program's first-ever meeting against UNLV. The game is slated to take place on Oct. 22 when the Rebels travel to Notre Dame Stadium.

"Nothing says college football history more than playing a game at Notre Dame," said UNLV Director of Athletics Desiree Reed-Francois in a release from the school. "We are looking forward to taking our team and our fans to South Bend for what is sure to be a memorable experience."

According to the release by UNLV, the Rebels will earn $1.35 million for the trip.

UNLV went 4-8 this past season, which resulted in the dismissal of head coach Tony Sanchez, who put himself on the map while building Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman into a national powerhouse. But Sanchez couldn't get going at UNLV, going just 20-40 in five seasons.

He was replaced by Oregon offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo.

Notre Dame still has one remaining game left to schedule for 2022. Here is a look at Notre Dame's 2022 schedule as it stands now:

Sept. 3 - at Ohio State
Sept. 10 - vs. Marshall
Sept. 17 - vs. California
Oct. 15 - vs. Stanford
Oct. 22 - vs. UNLV
Nov. 5 - vs. Clemson
Nov. 26 - at USC

Notre Dame is also slated to play a hoe game against Boston College, road games against North Carolina and Syracuse, and a neutral site game against Navy that was originally slated for Oct. 22.
