Both teams are members of the North Division PAC-12 conference and they have agreed to pay till 2028.
The Apple Cup match is traditionally the last game of the season for both teams and it’s regularly played on the Friday preceding Thanksgiving.
This is usually played due to the reason that Washington state is the largest producer of Apples in the world and so there is a match every year just at the time of Thanksgiving Day. The name “Apple Cup” is derived from that.
