Michigan State basketball will once again be featured in the Champions Classic during the 2025-26 season. This year, with the games taking place on Nov. 18 at Madison Square Garden, the Spartans will face off with Kentucky.
This will be the first time that Tom Izzo has faced off against a Mark Pope led Kentucky program, and the first meeting between the two schools since the 2022 Champions Classic, when the Spartans won a double overtime thriller over the Wildcats.
