MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University Vice President and Director of Athletics Wren Baker has announced that Purdue has been added to the 2027 home football schedule at Milan Puskar Stadium.

The date with the Boilermakers will be announced in the coming days, along with additional changes to West Virginia's non-conference schedule for 2027.

"We are looking forward to hosting Purdue in Morgantown next season for the first time since 1995," Baker said. "It is an important addition for us, because it now gives us 10 Power 4 games on our schedule, which is a requirement in the expanded College Football Playoff. It also gives us a regional Big Ten opponent visitng Milan Puskar Stadium, which I know Mountaineer Nation will be excited about. With the addition of Purdue, we will have further announcements on our 2027 schedule as we finalize everthing in the coming days.

West Virginia and Purdue have played twice in their history. The two schools split a pair of games with the visitor winning each time, Purdue, 26-25 in 1995, in Morgantown, and West Virginia, 20-6, in 1996, in West Lafayette, Indiana.
