Virginia, West Virginia Football to Play Two Games in Charlotte

The Charlotte Sports Foundation has announced that Virginia and West Virginia will have two football games, in 2026 and 2032, at Bank of America Stadium.

Virginia and West Virginia have not met since the 2002 Continental Tire Bowl, a Virginia 48-22 win, and have not played one another in the regular season since 1985. The first meeting will take place on September 19, 2026 followed by a September 24 showdown in 2032. The Cavaliers own a 12-10-1 all-time record against the Mountaineers.

“We are thrilled to host the Cavaliers and Mountaineers in 2026 and 2032,” said Charlotte Sports Foundation Executive Director Danny Morrison. “We can’t wait to roll out the red carpet for two great fan bases and welcome them to the Queen City.”

These two games are in addition to the Mountaineers’ previously announced 2028 game against Tennessee in Charlotte.

“The Charlotte region has a huge amount of WVU alumni and adding these two games allows us to further engage our fans in the region, while putting a quality ACC regional opponent on our schedule,” Baker said. “Our players get to play in a great NFL football stadium and working with the Charlotte Sports Foundation over the years has proved to be a great partnership.”
