Dubbed the City Game, the inter-city rivalry pits the only two Division 1 basketball schools located within Pittsburgh's city limits.

College football always starts with loads of intrigue given the unknowns as well as nonconference teams facing off against each other. The southeastern corner of Art Rooney Avenue provides a great vantage point to welcome the team to the stadium for the Panther Prowl. The Panthers welcome a Southeastern Conference opponent to Pittsburgh for the first time ever as the Tennessee Volunteers come north for the second Johnny Majors Classic of a two-game home-and-home agreement between the two programs forever connected by the legendary coach. This game comes down to whichever quarterback takes better care of the football and hits a few big passes down the field. After rattling off a couple of wins over ACC opponents, Pitt looks to extend its conference win streak to three games when they take on Duke this Saturday at Acrisure Stadium. In the first half of the 20th century, a rivalry against Carnegie Tech , as well as a regional rivalry with Washington & Jefferson College ended following the deemphasis of the football and other athletic programs at those institutions post-World War II.
Pitt and UConn also met for the championship in 2004 and have since played in many conference games of significance since. In the 2008–2009 season, Pitt earned its first win over the country's top-rated team by beating UConn on the road, and later at home while Connecticut was again ranked #1. However, the future of the rivalry is uncertain with Pitt's pending move to the ACC. Each year the university honors student-athletes who have achieved academic success during the University of Pittsburgh Scholar-Athlete Awards Breakfast where it hands out Blue and Gold awards to student-athletes who have earned over a 3.0 GPA.
The game between the long-time Eastern rivals will serve as Military Appreciation Day in the lead up to Veteran's Day as Pitt honors those who have and are currently serving with discounted tickets and special gameday experiences available for them and their families. The 105th all-time meeting between Pitt and West Virginia in football will kick off in primetime under the lights as the first Backyard Brawl since 1996 to open a season for the historic foes. As is traditional, Labor Day weekend also marks the return of the annualHeinz Field Kickoff and Rib Festivaloutside the stadium throughout the first weekend of September. Pitt returns several All-ACC players from last year's Atlantic Coast Conference championship-winning squad and could be primed for another title run in head coachPatNarduzzi's eighth season.

Narduzzi will also get to face his alma mater, Rhode Island, in the first meeting between the Rams and Panthers in football. Over 20 representations of panthers can be found in and around the university's campus and athletic facilities. Students, alumni, and fans rub the nose of one Panther statue in particular, the Millennium Panther located outside the William Pitt Union, in order to bring good luck to the university's teams prior to athletic contests. This tradition was featured in a national television advertisement for the 2012 Hyundai Tucson automobile. In addition, a costumed mascot, named "Roc", performs with the Pitt Cheerleaders at various athletic and non-athletic university events. Pitt has a long-standing rivalry with eastern football foe Syracuse University, which also spills over onto the basketball court.
