Notre Dame Football’s 86th annual Blue-Gold game will be televised April 18 at 12:30 p.m. on NBCSN.

The spring football scrimmage will provide fans with their first look at the team’s early enrollee freshmen, as well as a preview of the 2015 Fighting Irish football roster. NBC Sports Live Extra — NBC Sports Group’s live streaming product for desktops, mobile devices, and tablets — will stream coverage of the Notre Dame Blue-Gold Game via “TV Everywhere.”

NBCSN’s coverage of the Blue-Gold game will feature enhanced production elements to give viewers access to additional sights, sounds and aspects of the scrimmage. Elements will include in-game audio from head coach Brian Kelly and select players. In addition, NBCSN will conduct interviews with current players and former Notre Dame standouts.

Due to the renovation of Notre Dame Stadium, the 2015 Blue-Gold game will take place at LaBar Practice Complex.
