The first matchup between the Bearcats and Miami took place in 1888 and was the first college football game in state history. 125 meetings later and now it’s the most-played rivalry among in-state foes.

Over a decade ago, the rival schools agreed to play at Paul Brown Stadium (newly named Paycor Stadium) every four years from 2014 to 2026. Cincinnati is 2-0 against the RedHawks at the neutral site location including a thrilling 31-24 comeback win in 2014.
