LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – UNLV will travel to play storied college football program Notre Dame on Oct. 22, 2022, Director of Athletics Desiree Reed-Francois announced Tuesday.

The programs will meet for the first time and UNLV will earn a guarantee of $1.35 million for the single game. It will mark the first time the Rebels have ever played a football game in the state of Indiana.

"Nothing says college football history more than playing a game at Notre Dame," said Reed-Francois. "We are looking forward to taking our team and our fans to South Bend for what is sure to be a memorable experience."

UNLV's 2022 non-conference schedule also includes a previously announced trip to Cal. The date of that game has been moved up one week to Sept. 10, 2022. The Rebels will also play two non-conference home games that season that are to be announced.

The Rebels, under the direction of first-year head coach Marcus Arroyo, are scheduled to move into their new home at $2 billion Allegiant Stadium starting with the 2020 season-opener August 29 in a first-ever meeting with Cal.
