What happened: The first game is scheduled for Oct. 30, 2032, at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, with the return game set for Oct. 29, 2033, at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend. The agreement was announced Wednesday and puts two long-established powers back on each other's future schedules.

Why it matters: The matchup restores a rare intersectional series between national brands that have gone decades without playing regularly. Nebraska won the last meeting, 27-10 in 2001, and the series also adds a marquee future date for a Notre Dame program that held at No. 3 in ESPN's Football Power Index earlier this week.

What to watch: Watch for the rest of each school's 2030s nonconference slate to take shape around these dates. Late-October placement for both games suggests each could land as a headline matchup deep into the season.
