Pitt and Wisconsin will no longer meet on the gridiron next season, as both schools mutually announced the cancellation of a contest scheduled at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison on Friday.
Still on the books is the Aug. 28, 2027 season-opener between the Panthers and Badgers that will be played in Dublin, Ireland, dubbed the Aer Lingus College Football Classic.
Our third non-conference game in 2026 will now be played vs. Eastern Michigan.

Pitt’s home-and-home with Wisconsin was announced in 2019 under former athletic director Heather Lyke.
Not since 1967 have the two schools met in football, with Pitt owning a 3-0 all-time record against Wisconsin, having also played the Badgers in 1937 and 1938.
For now, the Panthers’ nonconference schedule next season comprises Central Florida and Miami (Ohio), both at Acrisure Stadium.
Pitt is set to face Boston College, Louisville, Miami, Florida State, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Syracuse and Virginia Tech in ACC play.
