It’s a great opportunity to play an outstanding football team from the Pac-12. – BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe said.

PROVO, Utah — On Tuesday afternoon, BYU and Oregon announced the teams will meet at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, on Sept. 10, 2022.

The teams have faced off six times over the years, four of which took place in Eugene. The BYU-Oregon series has split the winnings with three victories apiece. BYU clenched the last game, defeating Oregon 38-8 at the Las Vegas Bowl in 2006.

“It’s a great opportunity to play an outstanding football team from the Pac-12. Oregon had an opening in its 2022 schedule and the circumstance was right for BYU,” Cougar athletic director Tom Holmoe said in a BYU press release. “We hope to develop a long-term relationship with Oregon.”

Over the last six seasons, the Ducks have won the Pac-12 Conference championship four times, played in the national championship game twice and have appeared in five FCP/BCS bowls. Oregon holds a first-place tie for the nation’s longest string of 10-win seasons with seven.

BYU has ranked in the Top 25 in nine of BYU’s last 11 seasons under head coach Bronco Mendenhall. The Cougars have also appeared in 10 straight bowl games.

Including the Oregon game, the Cougars have four games scheduled in 2022. Games include the University of San Francisco on Sept. 23, Boise State on Oct. 8 and Stanford on Nov. 26.

The BYU matchup marks Oregon’s first non-conference game for 2022.

“This matchup fits our scheduling philosophy within the current landscape, which means facing top competition along with our Pac-12 opponents,” Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens said in an Oregon press release.

Before taking on BYU, the Ducks are scheduled to host Southern Utah University on Sept. 2, 2017.
