The Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Arizona Wildcats have reportedly agreed to a two-game, home-and-home series, according to Brett McMurphy of ESPN.com.

Arizona will host the match up in Tucson in 2019, while the two teams will meet in Lubbock, Texas, in 2020.

The two schools first met in 1932, and Texas Tech leads the rivalry by a 26-4-2 margin. The school's 26 wins are its second most against a non-Texas opponent. The two schools have not played each other since 1989, however.

Arizona has also announced other home-and-home series, including games against Mississippi State in 2022 and 2023 and games against BYU in 2026 and 2027.

Texas Tech has also said it plans to play Arizona State in 2016 and 2017.

Last season, Texas Tech was 4-8 overall and finished in eighth place in the Big 12 with a 2-7 conference record.

Arizona was 10-4 overall and was first in the Pac-12 South with a 7-2 conference mark. The Wildcats lost to Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl, 38-30.
