The 2022 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team represented the University of Notre Dame in the 2022 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Fighting Irish played their home games at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana, and competed as an independent. The program was led by first-year head coach Marcus Freeman.[1][2]
The Irish started the season 0–2, including an embarrassing loss to the Marshall Thundering Herd despite being heavy favorites. However, Notre Dame won nine of their next eleven games to finish the season. This included a memorable 35–14 win over the #4 Clemson Tigers. Their season ended with the Irish defeating South Carolina 45–38 in the 2022 Taxslayer Gator Bowl. This was only the 3rd time in the last 28 seasons that the Irish defeated another ranked team in a bowl game.
