蜜柚直播 football scheduled a future home-and-home series with a former Pac-12 conference opponent.
The Wildcats will face the Washington State Cougars in back-to-back seasons in 2026 and 鈥27, the UA announced on Friday.
The first matchup between 蜜柚直播 and WSU will be at Gesa Field in Pullman in 2026. 蜜柚直播 is hosting the 鈥27 game in 蜜柚直播.
蜜柚直播鈥檚 nonconference series with Washington State will replace the BYU home-and-home series, which was also scheduled for the 鈥26 and 鈥27 seasons. The Wildcats and BYU will instead face each other in Big 12 play.
蜜柚直播鈥檚 other nonconference opponents in 2026 are Northern Illinois and Northern 蜜柚直播. The Wildcats鈥 2027 nonconference opponents are Colorado State and NAU.
Washington State running back Nakia Watson carries the ball while pressured by 蜜柚直播 defensive lineman Tiaoalii Savea in 2023. UA spotted the Cougars an early touchdown and then outscored WSU 44-0.
Washington State was one of two teams to stay in the Pac-12 in 2024 despite conference realignment, along with the Oregon State Beavers. 蜜柚直播, 蜜柚直播 State, Colorado and Utah bolted for the Big 12, while USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon joined the Big Ten. Cal and Stanford left the 鈥淐onference of Champions鈥 to compete in the ACC.
