Arizona, Florida announce season-opening matchup in Las Vegas
The Wildcats and Gators will meet up for the first time since 2015 when they square off at T-Mobile Arena on Nov. 3.
Arizona will open the 2025-26 basketball season against Florida as part of the Hall of Fame Series in Las Vegas on Nov. 3 with TNT broadcasting the matchup. BYU will square off with Villanova in the other matchup.
"Opening the season in the Hall of Fame Series against a team like Florida in Las Vegas is a tremendous opportunity for our program and our fans," Tommy Lloyd said in a statement provided by the program. "I know T-Mobile Arena will be rocking that night, and we look forward to competing against one of the best teams in the country on opening night."
The Wildcats and Gators last met in the big Dec. 15, 2012 contest in Tucson on one of the more memorable days in UA athletics history with the football team winning the New Mexico Bowl earlier that day. Overall, the two teams have split their all-time series, 2-2.
