Notre Dame Football live stream: Watch 2017 spring game online

Here’s how you can watch Saturday’s Notre Dame football spring game from South Bend online.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will kick off their 88th annual Blue-Gold game on April 22. The game returns to Notre Dame Stadium this year as the Campus Crossroads Project nears completion.

This offseason was turbulent for the Irish. Coming off an 4-8 regular season finish, Brian Kelly cleaned house and brought in new offensive and defensive coordinators.

On offense, hiring Chip Long from Memphis allows Kelly to maintain continuity with his offensive scheme. More importantly, it allows Kelly to hand over play calling duties to a coordinator that he trusts. The Blue-Gold Game will be the first opportunity to see what the offense will look like under Chip Long’s guidance.

Brandon Wimbush will get his first opportunity to lead the Irish as the starting quarterback. He saw limited action 2015 as the backup to Malik Zaire. He redshirted last season to recoup the lost redshirt year. This season he looks to make his mark for Notre Dame.

Hiring Mike Elko from Wake Forest was a real steal for Brian Kelly. Elko is a rising defensive coordinator who emphasizes fundamentals. Along with a return to fundamentals, the Irish are installing a new 4-2-5 defense featuring a hybrid linebacker/safety role.

The Blue-Gold game will be the first opportunity for Irish fans to see the new defense in action.
