The University of Arizona men’s basketball program has released the exact start times and television assignments for its three high‑profile neutral‑site games that are part of the Hall of Fame Series this fall. These contests round out a non‑conference schedule that already promises several marquee matchups for the 2026‑27 season.
Season opener in Las Vegas
Arizona opens the season on Nov. 2 against UCLA at the T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tip‑off is scheduled for 8 p.m. Mountain Time and the game will be televised nationally on TNT. The event is part of a quadruple‑header that also features the Arizona women’s basketball team taking on Stanford at 11:30 a.m. MT on CBS Sports Network.
St. John’s at Madison Square Garden
The Wildcats travel to New York City for a Hall of Fame Series clash with St. John’s on Dec. 5. The game will be played at the iconic Madison Square Garden and will tip at 10 a.m. MT. Local fans can watch the contest on FOX, which will carry the broadcast nationwide.
Arkansas showdown in Phoenix
Arizona returns to Arizona for the final Hall of Fame Series meeting, facing Arkansas on Dec. 19 at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix. Tip‑off is set for 4:30 p.m. MT and the game will be shown on ESPN. This matchup revisits last season’s Sweet 16 encounter, which the Wildcats won in San Jose.
Big 12 conference games with confirmed times
In addition to the neutral‑site contests, the Wildcats have two Big 12 conference games with confirmed start times. On Feb. 8, Arizona hosts TCU at McKale Center, and on Feb. 22 the team travels to BYU. Both games are slated to begin at 7 p.m. MT and will be broadcast on ESPN.
What’s still pending
Most of the remaining games on the 2026‑27 schedule have yet to receive official television designations or start‑time announcements. Fans should continue to monitor the Arizona Wildcats’ official athletics website and major sports networks for updates as the season approaches.
These neutral‑site games give Arizona supporters multiple opportunities to see the Wildcats compete on a national stage, while also providing convenient viewing options across major broadcast partners. Whether you’re in Phoenix, New York, Las Vegas, or watching from home, the schedule now offers clear guidance on when and where to catch the action.
