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.
