The matchup signifies Washington's fourth consecutive game in Seattle to kick off the 2024 season and one of five of the season's first six games to be held at the Huskies' home turf.

Washington boasts a phenomenal record at home with 16 straight wins, positioning them second nationally for the longest current home winning streak, and the fourth-longest in the university's history. Their eight-game winning streak on the road ties them for the third-longest active streak across the nation.
