This will be the second time in the program’s history that Wisconsin will play a game overseas. The only other time that Wisconsin played a game outside of the United States was in Japan back in 1993 against Michigan State.
“It’s exciting for our student-athletes, their families, and our fans who will be able to have such a unique experience,” athletic director Chris McIntosh said. “We talk all the time about the opportunities available to the student-athletes at Wisconsin and this is another example. Visiting another country and playing a quality opponent will be memorable for all involved and we are looking forward to it!”
The matchup will take place on Aug. 27 and will be considered a home game for Pitt.
This will be the second matchup in a two-game series between the two teams since Pitt will visit Wisconsin in 2026.
