ABC To Air Three Notre Dame Games As Part Of New Saturday Night Package

ABC may no longer have “MNF,” but the network is still bullish on primetime football, with plans for a new season-long Saturday night college football series. The schedule is replete with marquee matchups, as ABC is shifting top afternoon games to primetime. While NBC owns the rights to Notre Dame home games, ABC becomes a second destination for Irish fans, with three of the school’s road games scheduled for its air.
