Pittsburgh Vs. West Virginia: How to Watch the Backyard Brawl, Date, Time, Stream

The Backyard Brawl is one of the longest-running rivalries in college sports. It is named such because of the close proximity between the schools. The football game between Pittsburgh and West Virginia had been played on a nearly permanent basis since 1895, but in 2011/2012, the two programs left the Big East Conference, putting the rivalry on hiatus. The 2012 season marked the first time since 1943 that the two teams didn't go at it on the gridiron. Luckily, the football rivalry returned for the first time since the two teams' departures from the Big East last year. The Panthers bested the Mountaineers 38-31. For the second year in a row, the rivalry is back, and West Virginia is seeking revenge.

When and where is Pittsburgh vs. West Virginia?

While last year's contest was held at a neutral location, the away team doesn't get that advantage this year. Pittsburgh, the winners of the Backyard Brawl last season, have to travel to West Virginia's home field this season. Of course, getting to Milan Puskar Stadium won't be that far of a drive for the Panthers. The two schools are only separated by a 75-mile drive on Interstate 79. Kickoff is slated for Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
