It’s official: Michigan will face UConn for a national championship game rematch Nov. 6 at the TD Garden in Boston. More from a U-M press release:

Coming off the program’s second national championship and one of the most memorable seasons in school history, the University of Michigan men’s basketball team announced Tuesday (June 2) that the Wolverines will face UConn in a national championship game rematch as part of the TNT Sports Hall of Fame Series Boston at TD Garden on Friday, Nov. 6, in Boston, Mass.

Announced by Position Sports in partnership with the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the matchup marks Michigan’s first regular-season meeting with the Huskies since 2015.

“What an exciting opportunity to face Coach Hurley and UConn again,” said U-M’s David and Meredith Kaplan Men’s Basketball Head Coach Dusty May. “It’s also a game our fans will really look forward to. Anytime you get two programs like this together that early in the season, it’s going to be a great test and a great atmosphere. Playing in Boston should make it even more fun for our players and everyone traveling out to support us.”

The Wolverines and Huskies closed the 2025-26 season in one of the most-watched games of the year, with Michigan capturing the national title behind a 69-62 win in Indianapolis to even the all-time series at 2-2.

“Well, based on his performance last year, our expectations would be that he’s going to be an All-American point guard for us. We had [forward] Yaxel [Lendeborg] as an All-American last year and [center] Aday [Mara] and [forward] Morez [Johnson Jr.] as All-Big Ten players.”
