Duke, UConn Finalizing Thanksgiving Eve Rematch in Las Vegas

The game reflects Duke’s shift to a Prime Video streaming slate built around neutral-site showcases.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Wednesday that Duke and UConn are finalizing an agreement to play Nov. 25 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
  • The matchup is a quick rematch of March’s Elite Eight, when UConn erased a 19-point hole and won 73-72 on Braylon Mullins’ long three after a Duke turnover.
  • The Las Vegas Review-Journal, citing a person with knowledge, said an official announcement was expected by the end of the week.
  • The contest appears in Duke’s new multi-year Prime Video package, which also includes Michigan at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 21 and Gonzaga in Detroit on Feb. 20.
  • The Nov. 25 date could compete with the Players Era festival in Las Vegas, which has not yet set its 2026 format or schedule.
