Notre Dame men's basketball announced Wednesday its non-conference schedule for the 2024-25 season.
The headliner is the previously reported Players Era Festival in Las Vegas during Thanksgiving week. The event has promoted itself by highlighting the opportunity for each team to engage in at least $1 million of NIL activities. The event will have two four-team tournaments of round-robin play. Notre Dame will be joined by Alabama, Houston and Rutgers in its tournament.
Notre Dame will only play against two other Power Five opponents in non-conference play: at Georgetown on Nov. 16 and at Georgia on Dec. 3.
Notre Dame will open its season by hosting Stonehill College on Nov. 6.
