BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana men’s basketball program will face the Kansas Jayhawks in the 2027 Hall of Fame Series in Las Vegas, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced Sunday. Arizona will play Duke in the doubleheader.

The game will be played on Friday, November 12, 2027 at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. The state-of-the-art, multi-purpose stadium will host the 2028 NCAA Men’s Final Four later this season. Both games will be shown on TNT Sports networks and platforms. Further program information will be announced at a later date.

“We are delighted to take part in such a prestigious event,” said head coach Mike Woodson said. “I’m excited to test our ballclub against a quality opponent like Kansas this early in the season. Our team has always valued competing against the best competition and getting this opportunity at Allegiant Stadium should be a lot of fun for both programs and the fan base.”

The two traditional programs have met on the hardwood 16 times and both teams have earned eight wins. The Hoosiers defeated the Jayhawks in each of the first six meetings, which included the 1940 and 1953 NCAA championship games. IU (5 national titles) and KU (4) have combined to win nine national championships.

“I am pleased to support the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame doubleheader tournament to be played in November 2027 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas,” said Dab Gavitt, senior vice president of men’s basketball at the NCAA. “Starting the college basketball season where it will end en route to the 2028 Final Four in Las Vegas is a rare opportunity to celebrate the game. Duke, Indiana, Kansas and Arizona have combined to win 15 men’s basketball national championships. Congratulations to the Hall of Fame, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and the Las Vegas Raiders for organizing such an incredible lead-up to the 2027-28 college basketball season that will crown a national champion just five months later .”
