The Hokies and Mountaineers will begin their series this year, facing off on Saturday, Dec. 5, 2026, in Morgantown, W. Va. The second and third showdowns will be in 2027 and 2028 in Blacksburg, Va., and Charleston, W. Va., respectively.

The showdown will be a homecoming of sorts for Tech forward Amani Hansberry and associate head coach Chester Frazier. Frazier coached at West Virginia for one year after three years at Illinois. Hansberry followed Frazier from Champaign to Morgantown to Blacksburg.

Virginia Tech is 30-49 against West Virginia all-time and is 17-13 at home (16-10 at Cassell Coliseum). The Hokies and Mountaineers have never played against one another under Mike Young's tenure. Virginia Tech last played against West Virginia in the 2015-16 season under then-head coach Buzz Williams, sustaining an 88-63 loss. The Hokies lost their last road clash in Morgantown, 82-51, the year prior when West Virginia was ranked No. 17.

Virginia Tech is 4-6 in its last 10 games against the Mountaineers, though it has lost three of its last four against WVU. It is 10-27 against West Virginia on the road and 3-9 against the Mountaineers at a neutral site. The 2028 neutral-site showdown will be the first between the two schools since the 1980-81 season, a clash Virginia Tech won 70-64 at the Charleston Civic Center.

West Virginia went 21-14 (9-9 Big 12) this past season, and under first year head coach Ross Hodge, they won the College Basketball Crown postseason tournament in Las Vegas yb beating Stanford, Creighton and Oklahoma to snag the crown.
