6/5/2026 10:35:00 AM | Men's Basketball
DURHAM, N.C. - The Duke men's basketball team will travel to Gainesville to play the Florida Gators at Stephen C. O'Connell Center on Tuesday, Dec. 1, as part of the fourth edition of the ACC/SEC Challenge. Tip-off time and TV information will be announced at a later date.
Duke and Florida, who squared off at Cameron Indoor Stadium last fall, have met on the hardwood 19 times, with the Blue Devils holding a 15-4 series advantage. Duke has won the past three matchups, including a 67-66 victory on a last-second basket in the last meeting on Dec. 2, 2025, in the ACC/SEC Challenge.
The Blue Devils are now 2-1 in the cross-conference challenge, including an 80-75 setback at Arkansas in 2023, and an 84-78 win over Auburn at Cameron Indoor Stadium in 2024.
The Blue Devils will make their first trip to Florida's home court since Dec. 17, 1937, when Duke earned a 37-33 triumph.
The Blue Devils' 2026-27 non-conference schedule now includes six opponents that were at least a three-seed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament and ranked in the top 20 of the final Associated Press poll, including three among the top five, with Florida (Dec. 1) joining the previously-announced matchups with Michigan State (Nov. 10), Illinois (Nov. 17), Connecticut (Nov. 25), Michigan (Dec. 21) and Gonzaga (Feb. 20).
During the 2025-26 campaign, under the direction of head coach Jon Scheyer, the Blue Devils made the program's 26th Elite Eight appearance, captured Duke's 24th ACC Tournament title, claimed the conference regular-season championship for the 22nd time and achieved a 35-win season for the second straight season with an overall record of 35-3. Duke boasts four returners from last year's squad, while also signing the nation's top-ranked recruiting class, according to 247Sports.
