ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Notre Dame and Michigan, the two winningest programs in college football history, have agreed to resume their football rivalry.

The announcement was made Thursday afternoon.

The Fighting Irish will host the Wolverines on Sept. 1 2018, and the series will shift to Michigan Stadium on Oct. 26, 2019.

Notre Dame opted out of its series with Michigan in 2012, canceling games in 2015-2017. The Fighting Irish said at the time the move was a precaution as it began the process of a scheduling commitment to the ACC.
