Pitt football is heading to Ireland—and Panther Nation is coming along for the journey.

Join fellow Pitt fans in Dublin for Pitt vs. Wisconsin at the 2027 Aer Lingus College Football Classic. The Panthers and Badgers will open the 2027 college football season at Aviva Stadium on Saturday, August 28, 2027.

Our Pitt vs. Wisconsin Dublin travel packages combine the excitement of college football with the best of Ireland. Instead of coordinating hotels, game tickets, transportation, sightseeing and fan events separately, you can enjoy one professionally planned Pitt football travel experience.

This is much more than a trip to watch a football game. You’ll explore Dublin, experience Irish culture and celebrate alongside Pitt fans throughout game week.

Depending on the package selected, your Pitt Takes Dublin experience may include centrally located hotel accommodations, daily breakfast, a guaranteed game ticket, stadium transportation, a Welcome Happy Hour, a legendary Night Before Pep Rally, an all-inclusive Pitt pregame tailgate, Dublin sightseeing and professionally guided Irish experiences.

Guests choosing the extended itinerary can also experience Ireland beyond Dublin with a full-day excursion to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway City.

Sports Fans Travel has spent more than 18 years creating premium sports travel experiences for over 10,000 guests in more than 10 countries and has led multiple experiences for both college and pro football fans the last three years in Dublin. Our team handles the details so you can focus on exploring Ireland, meeting fellow Pitt fans and cheering on the Panthers.

Reserve your place and join Panther Nation in Dublin for Pitt vs. Wisconsin in 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Ireland’s weather is changeable year-round, so always prepare for rain and wind, regardless of the month. Layering is key, and a good waterproof jacket is your best travel companion!

August still offers some of the warmest and most pleasant weather in Ireland, with average temperatures ranging from 57° to 66°. While rain is always possible, August tends to be one of the drier months, making it ideal for outdoor activities. Pack light layers, a waterproof jacket, and comfortable walking shoes. Don’t forget sunscreen—sunny spells can be surprisingly strong.

September marks the transition to autumn, with temperatures gradually cooling to 54°–63°. Rainfall increases, and the days grow shorter. A warm sweater, a waterproof coat, and sturdy footwear are essential. This month is perfect for exploring cities and countryside alike, as the summer crowds thin out.

When you place your deposit, please make note of when it becomes non-refundable as we are not able to issue refunds after that date! If you are unable to attend the event you placed a deposit on and forget about it or miss the deadline, we are usually able to roll the deposit over to another event, even if it’s next season.
