PULLMAN – Washington State and Colorado State have agreed to a home-and-home football series that will bring the Rams to Pullman in 2022 and send the Cougars to Fort Collins, Colorado, in 2023.

The game at Martin Stadium is slated for Sept. 17, 2022, and the return game will be held at Colorado State Stadium on Sept. 23, 2023.

The Cougars and Rams have met once before, in the 2013 New Mexico Bowl. WSU fans still have sour memories of that game after CSU rallied from 15 points down in the final minute to beat the Cougars 48-45 in Albuquerque.

WSU also has nonconference games scheduled against Wisconsin for the 2022 and 2023 seasons. The Cougars are visiting the Big Ten Badgers in Madison on Sept. 10, 2022, and welcoming Wisconsin to Pullman on Sept. 9, 2023.
