The Fresno State–San Jose State football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Fresno State Bulldogs and San Jose State Spartans. San Jose State led the series from 1949–2001, but Fresno State tied it at 32–32–3 with a victory in 2002, and recaptured the lead in 2003. The Bulldogs and Spartans first played each other in 1921.

The rivalry took a one-year break in 2012 after conference realignment temporarily separated the two schools, with Fresno State moving to the Mountain West Conference while San Jose State stayed in the Western Athletic Conference. It resumed as a conference rivalry in 2013 when San Jose State joined the MW, and is assured of being an annual matchup since both schools are in the West Division.

Beginning in 2013, the winner of the game is awarded the Valley Trophy.[1][2]
