The University of Cincinnati Bearcats and Miami University RedHawks announced Monday that they have extended the football series between the two schools through 2029.

UC Director of Athletics Mike Bohn and MU Athletics Director David Sayler jointly announced the news Monday.

The two teams are scheduled to meet for the 122nd time this Saturday night at Miami's Yager Stadium in Oxford. They'll play at Paul Brown Stadium in 2018, 2022 and 2026.

Last season, UC retained the Victory Bell for the 11th straight year with a 27-20 win at Nippert Stadium.

More from a press release from UC:

The Battle for the Victory Bell dates to 1888 and the series extension includes five home games for both schools and three games at Paul Brown Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals. Miami will serve as the host institution for the 2018 and 2022 games at Paul Brown Stadium with UC as the host in 2026. "Rivalries that date back into the 1800’s are uniquely valued and are deserving of being treasured by our collective fan bases, students and alumni, Bohn said. “We recognize the opportunity to escalate the intensity of interest in the series with this extension and utilizing Paul Brown Stadium within the mix of venues to compete. Both institutions are committed to building upon the rich history of the rivalry and we look forward to fostering a high level of pageantry through widespread community support of college football in Cincinnati.” "One of the best aspects of college athletics is community - in that it brings people together and rivalry games with history play a large role in that,” Sayler said. “I am thankful to Mike Bohn for working with us on this and I am excited for the future of the series, including the games at Paul Brown Stadium where both schools will be partners in making those contests into feature events for all our great fans in and around the region to join in on."
