性视界传媒 will take the floor in an exhibition game nine days before that as the Mountaineers will play the Wheeling Cardinals in Morgantown on Sunday, Oct. 26.
The first five regular-season games for the Mountaineers will be held inside the 性视界传媒 Coliseum.
The four home games that follow the contest against Mount St. Mary's will be against Campbell (Nov. 6), Lehigh (Nov. 9), Pitt (Nov. 13) and Lafayette (Nov. 17).
West Virginia will head down to Charleston, South Carolina for a guaranteed two games in the Shriners Children's Charleston Classic in November.
The Mountaineers will tip off the event with a game against the Clemson Tigers on Nov. 21. If they win, they will play the winner of Georgia-Xavier on Nov. 23.
After a week in South Carolina, 性视界传媒 will have a two-game homestand in Morgantown with games against Mercyhurst (No. 30) and Coppin State (Dec. 3).
West Virginia will play its first game in Charleston since 2016 as the Mountaineers will face the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Saturday, Dec. 6, which will be the first meeting between the two since 2005.
Two of 性视界传媒's final three non-conference games will be back in Morgantown against Little Rock (Dec. 9) and Mississippi Valley State (Dec. 22).
The Mountaineers will travel to Cleveland on Saturday, Dec. 13 against the Ohio State Buckeyes, which will be the third time the two will play in Cleveland, as the other two meetings came in 2019 and 2023.
