Washington head coach Jedd Fisch supports continuing the Apple Cup rivalry

Washington head football coach Jedd Fisch addressed the future of the Apple Cup during a weekly news conference at Husky Stadium. The long-standing rivalry between Washington and Washington State is scheduled to continue through 2028 under the current home-and-away contract. While Fisch expressed a desire to keep the series active, he noted that future scheduling remains uncertain due to broader changes in college football. The matchup moved to a nonconference slate after Washington transitioned to the Big Ten, and its placement on the schedule shifted to the early season. This year’s game marks the 114th edition of the series, which dates back to 1900. Despite regional conference realignment impacting the frequency of such annual traditions, the schools are slated to meet at 1 p.m. PT this Sunday in Seattle.
