Rockets to travel to WSU next year, host the Cougars in 2031; Toledo will play Rice in a home-and-home series in 2029 and 2031, travel to Pittsburgh in 2030
TOLEDO, Ohio – University of Toledo Vice President and Director of Athletics Bryan B. Blair announced additions and changes to future Rocket Football schedules.
Toledo will play a two-game series with Washington State of the Pac-12, with the Rockets traveling to Pullman, Wash. next season on Oct. 25. The Cougars will make the return trip to Toledo on Sept. 20, 2031. The games will mark the first meeting between the two schools on the gridiron.
To accommodate the addition of Washington State to the 2025 schedule, a contest at Appalachian State originally scheduled for next season was moved to 2032 on a date to be determined.
The Rockets also added a home-and-home series with Rice, beginning with a Toledo home game on Sept. 8, 2029 and a return trip to Houston on Sept. 13, 2031. Rice, which plays in the American Athletic Conference, will be playing Toledo for the first time in football.
In addition, the Rockets added a road game at Pittsburgh on Sept. 14, 2030. The Panthers lead the all-time series 2-1, with Toledo upsetting No. 9 Pitt, 35-31, in the Glass Bowl in 2003.
