The North Carolina A&T men’s basketball team will kick off the 2025-26 season in Columbia, S.C., with a game against the USC Gamecocks.

The team’s 31-game schedule will include matchups against six HBCUs, including five non-conference HBCU foes.

The Aggies’ marquee game will be in February, when they play Hampton University.

The game will be played in Los Angeles during NBA All-Star weekend and is dubbed the “NBA HBCU Classic. “
