Bruins set to take on Arizona in Inglewood, Calif., on Nov. 14, 2025.
LOS ANGELES – The UCLA men’s basketball team will face Arizona at the nearby Intuit Dome on Friday, Nov. 14, 2025, during the nonconference portion of the Bruins’ schedule.
UCLA’s game against Arizona marks the second contest in a three-game series with the Wildcats that will take place over a four-year span. Next November’s matchup is part of the Hall of Fame Series Los Angeles, organized by Position Sports in conjunction with the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
Last season, the Bruins defeated Arizona, 57-54, at Footprint Center in Phoenix on Dec. 14, 2024. The game next November at Intuit Dome will serve as a tribute to the late Bill Walton, honoring the former UCLA standout for his impact on the sport, his career at UCLA, and his ties to both programs through his family and broadcasting.
Last season, UCLA played in the first-ever college basketball game at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., outlasting Gonzaga by a 65-62 margin on Dec. 28, 2024. This will mark UCLA’s second contest at the nearby Intuit Dome, home to the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers.
“We are excited to return to the Intuit Dome for a great matchup in November against Arizona and the opportunity to pay tribute to Bill Walton,” said Mick Cronin, The Michael Price Family UCLA Men’s Head Basketball Coach. “I know that our players really enjoyed the chance to play in the Intuit Dome last December. It’s always exciting for our guys to experience playing in an NBA arena, but the opportunity to play in such a state-of-the-art venue as the Intuit Dome was definitely a highlight for us. We are honored to be back there in November, and everyone with our program is looking forward to the upcoming season.”
Additional details about UCLA’s matchup with Arizona, including ticket information, game time and broadcast coverage will be shared at a later date.
Last season, the Bruins trailed Arizona by double-digits with fewer than 10 minutes to play. UCLA closed the contest on a 19-5 scoring run to register a 57-54 win over Arizona at Footprint Center, home to the NBA’s Phoenix Suns. UCLA’s win pushed the team’s winning streak to seven games and helped the Bruins improve their overall record against Arizona to 64-50.
The long-standing basketball series between UCLA and Arizona began in 1923. The two programs faced off three times in the 1950s and four times in the 1960s. The Bruins took on Arizona each year from 1979 through 2024, once Arizona joined UCLA in the Pac-10 Conference.
