Watch Here Come the Irish online from anywhere

Netflix have Drive to Survive, Disney Plus have Welcome to Wrexham, HBO have Hard Knocks and Prime have All or Nothing…now Peacock enter the sports documentary game, following college football legends Notre Dame’s 2024 season. Keep reading, as we explain how to watch Here Come the Irish online from anywhere.

Where the Fighting Irish documentary sets itself apart however, is that rather than release in one go, covering a previous season or a training camp, Here Come the Irish will release episodes piecemeal over a six month period, documenting the 2024 season in real time, starting with the pre-season in August all the way up to its final days in December, with a wrap up episode set for January, looking at the fortunes (or misfortunes) this particular term has brought. With Peacock also the home for all of the team’s games at Notre Dame Stadium, it’s an interesting experiment that allows viewers an unprecedented look inside the college football season. 

Expect insight into the process of head coach Marcus Freeman, as well as interviews with quarterback Riley Leonard, cornerback Benjamin Morrison and former coach Lou Holtz. The series also promises to look at the delicate balance college athletes must achieve between academic commitments and their on-field desires.

Whatever the result, it’s set to be a thrilling season for the Irish, so read on for where to watch Here Come the Irish online and from anywhere.
