The MIT–WPI football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the MIT Engineers of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the WPI Engineers of Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The two schools have been rivals in the academic and in the sports arena, but that rivalry has now expanded to the sport of football when the NEWMAC began sponsoring the sport in 2017.[1] Despite the two teams first meeting being in 1888, the programs have only faced each other fifteen times with a 89-year hiatus. With the two programs now competing in the same conference, they will now face each other regularly each year.
