The California–USC football rivalry, also known as the Weekender,[1] is an American college football rivalry between the California Golden Bears and USC Trojans.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

History

While not as significant as the Stanford or UCLA rivalries for either school, the in-state rivals have met on the football field 112 times. The game between the schools was often called The Weekender, referring to the weekend trip to the Bay Area; although, this term also applied to the Stanford game, as each series (USC/Cal and USC/Stanford) would alternate home and away. As of the 2023 season, USC had played Cal more than any other opponent,[8] with the 2023 game marking the 112th meeting, according to Cal,[9] and the 108th meeting according to USC,[9] with discrepancies in the game record before 1920. The last Weekender was played on October 28, 2023, with Cal losing to USC 49-50.[10] USC leads the all-time series 73–33–6.[11] In 2024, USC joined the Big Ten Conference[12][13] while Cal joined the Atlantic Coast Conference.[14][15] This will put the rivalry between the Bears and Trojans on hiatus with no future meetings scheduled as of January 2025.[16] USC's is California's second most played opponent all-time (behind only Stanford) while California is USC's all-time most-played opponent.[17]
