Oregon vs. Oregon State: A Rivalry Reignited!

In a surprising turn of events, the historic football rivalry between the Oregon Ducks and the Oregon State Beavers will be back on the schedule starting in 2027, ensuring that this iconic matchup continues through at least 2032.

This next season marks a significant milestone: it’s the first time in over 80 years that these two rivals won’t clash on the football field. The news was shared by a spokesperson for Oregon athletics, confirming that efforts are underway to restore the highly anticipated rivalry.

A Historic Agreement Secures the Future

Both athletic directors, Rob Mullens from Oregon and Scott Barnes from OSU, emphasized the importance of keeping this long-standing tradition alive, especially after the Ducks made their transition to the Big Ten in 2023. Although specifics are still being finalized, fans can expect a home-and-home series to kick off in 2027, with the Beavers not hosting the Ducks until 2028.

Game Day: What to Expect!

This arrangement will feature a total of six games, with each team getting to host three, keeping the competition fierce and fans engaged. Mullens pointed out that for financial sustainability, the Ducks need to secure seven home games each season, which is crucial considering the intricacies of conference scheduling.
