Arizona leads this series 1-0, having won the only previous meeting in 2025. The two had no shared history before that - Cincinnati joined the Big 12 in 2023 and Arizona in 2024, arriving from the American and the Pac-12 respectively, so this is a fixture realignment created rather than one either program built.

Both are old programs with thin trophy cabinets relative to their age. Cincinnati has played since 1885, is 674-622-50 all time, and reached the College Football Playoff in 2021 - the first team from outside a power conference to do it - after winning three American Athletic Conference titles. Arizona has played since 1899, is 640-502-33, and has won one Pac-12 title, in 1993, plus three Border Conference championships in the 1930s and 40s and two WAC titles.
