BERKELEY – California's Pac-12 Conference opener and next road game at Washington on Saturday, Sept. 23 will kick off from Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium in Seatle at 7:30 p.m. PT. ESPN will televise the contest.

Washington leads the all-time series, 56-41-4, including wins in each of the last two contests between the teams in 2021 and 2022 that followed a two-game Cal win streak in the series in 2018 and 2019. The teams did not play during the 2020 campaign due to COVID-19.

Both recent Golden Bears wins came in dramatic fashion over ranked Washington teams. Evan Weaver's interception return for a touchdown sparked a 12-10 win in Berkeley in 2018 over a No. 15 Huskies squad before Cal was a 20-19 winner in Seattle in 2019 over No. 14 Washington in a game that ended at 1:22 a.m. PT following a two-hour and 39-minute lighting delay in the first quarter. Greg Thomas' 17-yard field goal with 0:08 remaining won it for the Bears.
