Pitt vs. West Virginia Backyard Brawl Adds Four More Years
PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt vs. West Virginia rivalry lives on, as the two teams will play the Backyard Brawl for at least another four years.
Pitt announced they have signed another four-year deal with the Mountaineers to continue to Brawl. The current deal runs from 2022-2025, they'll take a three-year gap, and then return from 2029-2032.
"Passionate rivalry games like the Backyard Brawl make college football special," Director of Athletics Heather Lyke said. "The extension of this series is exciting to announce given our programs’ shared history and geography. It’s a rivalry that resonates throughout the region and across the country. That will certainly be on display when we renew ties this September at Heinz Field in front of a national television audience."
There's been 104 games between the two programs, the first starting in 1895 and running through 2011. Pitt leads the series, 61-40-3.
