The Ohio Bobcats will meet West Virginia in a highly anticipated matchup on August 28, 2027, at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown, West Virginia. The game has been moved from its original date to accommodate scheduling conflicts and to preserve the integrity of the three‑game series.
Series History and Scheduling Details
The 2025 meeting between the two programs took place on September 6, 2025, at Peden Stadium, where Ohio secured a 17‑10 victory, extending its home‑field winning streak and setting the tone for the series.
That win contributed to Ohio’s 40 victories over the past four seasons, 23 of which came at home, and currently stands as the longest home winning streak in school history.
Looking ahead, the Bobcats will open the 2026 season on the road against Nebraska at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, while also hosting six home games at Peden Stadium throughout the year.
First‑year head coach John Hauser, who assumed the role this offseason, inherits a program that has enjoyed sustained success and will aim to maintain the momentum as the team prepares for the upcoming campaign.
Wren Baker, a senior administrator in the athletic department, has played a pivotal role in coordinating the non‑conference schedule that includes the high‑profile matchups with West Virginia and Nebraska.
