ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Michigan Wolverines and Washington Huskies will meet for the 16th time in their football rivalry, with Saturday being the 11th contest played during the regular season.

Michigan holds a 9-6 advantage in the all-time series, including wins in three of the last four games between the two programs.

The Huskies won last season’s matchup 27-17 at Husky Stadium, marking their first meeting as Big Ten conference opponents.

Michigan defeated Washington 34-13 in the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship Game, securing the 2023 national title.

The upcoming game on Oct. 18, 2025, will be the sixth meeting between Michigan and Washington at the Big House in Ann Arbor.

Michigan holds a 4-1 record against Washington in games played in Ann Arbor, with victories in 1953, 1969, 2002, and 2021, and a loss in 1984.

Overall, Michigan has a 6-4 record against Washington in regular-season matchups, including a 4-1 home record and 2-3 on the road.

But coming off of an embarrassing road loss to the USC Trojans, to fans and alums, Saturday’s game is the biggest game of the season, as a victory would quiet the noise behind coaching changes and things of that nature.

In big games during the 2025 season, Michigan looked unprepared as the Oklahoma Sooners and USC were more physical and better prepared.
