About CBS Sports Classic

The CBS Sports Classic is an elite annual college basketball doubleheader that has served as a premier non-conference showcase since its inception in 2014. Originally featuring a fixed four-team rotation of blue-blood programs—Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio State, and UCLA—the event is designed to pit these "heavyweights" against one another in a rotating format. Broadcast nationally on CBS and streamed on Paramount+, the Classic has visited major basketball hubs across the United States, including Madison Square Garden in New York, the United Center in Chicago, and T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, often drawing massive television audiences and capacity crowds. The event is currently entering a new era of expansion and transition. Following the 2024 season, UCLA departed the lineup due to travel concerns, briefly being replaced by St. John’s in 2025. However, as of January 2026, it was officially announced that Kansas has joined the field, securing a powerhouse lineup alongside Kentucky, North Carolina, and Ohio State through at least 2029. This new iteration kicks off on December 19, 2026, at Madison Square Garden, featuring a high-stakes doubleheader of Kansas vs. Ohio State and North Carolina vs. Kentucky. Beyond the main event, the brand also recently introduced the HBCU Showcase, further cementing the Classic’s role as a vital fixture in the college basketball calendar.
