Oregon and Oregon State Announce 2028‑2032 Football Series
The University of Oregon and Oregon State University have confirmed a four‑game football schedule that will run from 2028 through 2032, effectively reviving the storied rivalry known as the Civil War after a multi‑year pause.
The series opens on September 16, 2028, when the Beavers host the Ducks at Reser Stadium in Corvallis. The matchup will mark the first meeting in the Pacific Northwest since the 2025 season, when Oregon secured a 41‑7 victory at Autzen Stadium.
Subsequent contests are set for September 15, 2029, at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, and August 30, 2031, again in Eugene. A fourth game will be played on September 11, 2032, returning to Corvallis, ensuring a balanced home‑and‑away split.
The 2030 season will not feature a Civil War game, a gap that will be filled by non‑conference matchups in the interim. In addition, Oregon’s scheduled 2029 encounter with Utah State has been moved from its original September 15 slot to September 8, a shift that coaches say will affect preparation timelines.
A Century‑Plus Rivalry
The Civil War has been contested 129 times since its inaugural meeting in 1894, making it one of the longest continuous rivalries in college football. Oregon’s all‑time lead stands at 70‑49‑10, a testament to the Ducks’ sustained competitiveness.
The most recent chapter was written on September 20, 2025, when the Ducks defeated the Beavers 41‑7 in front of a packed Autzen crowd, underscoring the program’s recent dominance.
Beyond the numbers, the rivalry carries cultural weight in Oregon, drawing statewide attention and serving as a barometer for recruiting, coaching philosophy, and fan engagement.
