North Carolina and Georgetown basketball will play a home-and-home series beginning in the 2025-26 season, CBS Sports reported Wednesday.

The first game is expected to be played in Chapel Hill, N.C., and scheduled sometime in December, per the report.

North Carolina finished 24-14 in the 2024-25 season and was a controversial selection to the NCAA Tournament, where the Tar Heels defeated San Diego State in the First Four and lost to Ole Miss in the first round.

Georgetown was 18-16 and played two games in the College Basketball Crown postseason tournament. The Hoyas lost to Nebraska in the second round.

The Tar Heels and Hoyas have met seven times, with North Carolina holding a 4-3 edge. The teams played in the 1982 NCAA Tournament championship game, with legendary coaches John Thompson and Dean Smith squaring off.

North Carolina, behind Final Four Most Outstanding Player James Worthy, won 63-62 in New Orleans.
