Overview

• Kickoff is set for Saturday, Sept. 20 at 12 p.m. PT at Autzen Stadium, with No. 6 Oregon (3-0) hosting Oregon State (0-3) on the Big Ten Network.
• The rivalry will not be played in 2026, marking the first pause since the World War II years, due to scheduling constraints tied to conference realignment.
• Multiple outlets report the schools have agreed to resume the series with a six-year agreement beginning in 2027, extending through at least 2032.
• Oddsmakers list Oregon by roughly 35 points, reflecting a lopsided matchup as the Ducks roll into Week 4 and the Beavers struggle despite a top-25 passing output from QB Maalik Murphy.
• Pregame storylines include an Oregon player’s “little bros” jab answered calmly by Murphy, and the Ducks unveiling a Phil Knight–Bill Bowerman–themed “Shoe Duck” uniform for the game.
