Get ready for an unforgettable showdown on August 28, 2027, as the Pitt Panthers and the Wisconsin Badgers collide at Dublin’s renowned Aviva Stadium in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic!
This much-anticipated matchup marks the second of a two-game series between these storied programs, with Pitt returning to international play for the first time since their triumphant 1989 trip to Ireland. Wisconsin makes its second-ever appearance abroad, following a memorable 1993 victory in Tokyo.
​
Both teams will bring plenty of fire and passion to the field. Pitt assumes the “home” status this time around, eager to replicate the success of their previous Emerald Isle Classic win. Meanwhile, Wisconsin looks to add another overseas triumph to its record, with Director of Athletics Chris McIntosh promising a one-of-a-kind experience for student-athletes, fans, and families alike.
Backed by the Aer Lingus College Football Classic series—credited with establishing Dublin as the global hub of college football—this international clash is already stirring excitement. Ireland’s Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin TD, anticipates a phenomenal week of festivities leading up to the game. At the same time, Daithí de Róiste, Lord Mayor of Dublin, is thrilled to show the Panthers, Badgers, and their fans just how captivating the city can be.
​
Georgia Tech and Florida State did set the stage in 2024, continuing this popular annual series. For the 2027 matchup, travel, and hospitality packages can be arranged with NFL Ireland Tours in advance.
Don’t miss your chance to witness history—and soak up the warmth, culture, and energy of Ireland—when these powerhouse teams collide!
