Notre Dame football winning streak

Overview

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team has extended a significant winning streak through late September and early October 2026.

By the end of September, the team held a 14-game unbeaten run, bolstered by a 49-10 victory over Purdue and a previous win against Wisconsin. The strength of their schedule was noted as the Wisconsin Badgers achieved subsequent success.

On October 10, No. 3 Notre Dame extended the streak to 16 games with a 58-7 win over Stanford, moving their season record to 6-0. This victory marked 16 consecutive wins by double-digit margins. The game was highlighted by freshman running back Jonaz Walton, who set a program record for rushing yards by a true freshman with 181 yards on 13 carries, including a 97-yard touchdown run—the third-longest offensive play in the history of Notre Dame Stadium. Walton also added a 40-yard touchdown run.

Quarterback C. J. Carr contributed 181 passing yards and three touchdowns, while Nolan James Jr. recorded two touchdowns and Aneyas Williams caught a 70-yard touchdown pass. The defense established early control when Boubacar Traore forced a fumble on the opening play and later recorded an interception.
