West Virginia quarterback Patrick White is tackled by Pittsburgh defenders Eric Thatcher and Tommie Duhart during the fourth quarter of the 100th Backyard Brawl on Dec. 1, 2007, at Milan Puskar Stadium.
Pitt and West Virginia will open their football seasons in 2022 at Heinz Field with the first Backyard Brawl between the teams in 11 years.
The schools had previously announced a four-year home-and-home schedule of games (2022-2025), but the date for the first one has been moved to Sept. 3 from Sept. 17.
The game also will be played in Pittsburgh in 2024. West Virginia will host the games in Morgantown in 2023 and 2025.
