Watch No 3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Vs USC Trojans Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, Irish Seek Playoff Berth
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish conclude what, if they can defeat University of Southern California, will be their best — and first undefeated— season since 1988, per Sports Reference, as they head into the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with not only a perfect record but their first-ever berth in the College Football Playoffs on the line, in the rivalry game that will live stream from L.A.’s Exhibition Park area.
To find out how to watch a live stream of the #3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. USC Trojans season-ending college football game, see the streaming information at the bottom of this article. Kickoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time at the iconic 78,500-seat Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Exhibition Park, Los Angeles, California on Saturday November 24. That kickoff will take place at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, 7 pm. Central.
The USC Trojans have limped through their season, coming into the finale with a 5-6 record, per SR, and if they lose to the heavily favored Irish, will end with their first losing season since 2000 — just two years removed from their Rose Bowl victory over Penn State.
But the Trojans rarely have a problem getting motivated to face their arch-rivals from South Bend, Indiana, with Saturday’s game marking the 90th meeting of one of the longest-running rivalries in college football. The Irish have had the better of the series, winning 45 while USC has won 36, with five games ending in a tie, according to Athlon Sports.
For Notre Dame, however, far more than bragging rights are on the line. A win all but guarantees a spot in the playoffs, making the Irish the first independent team to earn a slot in college football’s version of the Final Four. In other words, a win over their arch-rivals would put Notre Dame just two wins away from capturing their first national championship since 1988, per NCAA.com, which was also their last undefeated season at 12-0, finishing with a Number One ranking and polishing off Number Three West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl.
