Duke vs. Arizona, Indiana vs. Kansas Set for 2027 CBB Showcase at Raiders NFL Stadium

College basketball is coming to Las Vegas in 2027 with a pair of marquee matchups between national powerhouses.

Per the Associated Press, a doubleheader featuring Duke going up against Arizona and Indiana facing Kansas will be played in the Hall of Fame Series at Allegiant Stadium on Nov. 12, 2027.

The 2028 Final Four will also be played at Allegiant Stadium.

"We're starting the season here and ending the season here at Allegiant Stadium," Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, said Sunday.

The Hall of Fame Series was started last year and features games played at large arenas around the country, including the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This year's games will be played in Las Vegas on Nov. 4, Phoenix on Nov. 14, Baltimore on Nov. 15 and New York on Dec 14.

Melissa Meacham-Grossman, president of Position Sports, the company that runs the series in conjunction with the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, told the AP that the 2027 doubleheader is likely to be the only one at Allegiant Stadium, though the series could return to that venue in later seasons.

Kansas enters the 2024-25 campaign ranked No. 1 in the preseason AP Top 25. Duke is ranked No. 7, Arizona is at No. 10 and Indiana is at No. 17.

The Jayhawks and Blue Devils will face each other this season on Nov. 26, and the Blue Devils also have a matchup against the Wildcats on Nov. 22. The Hoosiers won't face a ranked team until Jan. 2 against No. 25 Rutgers.
