COLLEGE PARK, MD – The Maryland men's basketball team will open the 2025-26 season on Monday, Nov. 3 at the CFG Bank Arena against Coppin State as part of the Naismith Hall of Fame Series Baltimore. The event will be a double-header featuring all local teams as Towson will face Loyola that evening as well.
 
"The Hall of Fame Series will be a tremendous way to open the upcoming season, and it is going to be special for the passionate basketball fans of Baltimore," said head coach Buzz Williams. "I believe the last time the University of Maryland Men's Basketball team played in Baltimore was 2018, so it will be a good opportunity to get the Terps back in a city with such great basketball history."
 
Maryland holds a 2-1 edge in the all-time series, with all three match-ups taking place at College Park. The Eagles earned a 70-53 victory in the first meeting on December 12, 1989, with current Coppin State head coach Larry Stewart starring as a forward on that Eagles team. The Terrapins then posted a 95-79 win on November 25, 2022, and a 75-53 victory in the last meeting on December 28, 2023.
 
The last time Maryland played in Baltimore was during the 2018-19 season as the Terps defeated Loyola Chicago at the then-named Royal Farms Arena.
 
Last year marked the first time the event was held in Baltimore was Penn State defeated Virginia Tech and Virginia bested Villanova.
 
"Returning to Baltimore for a second year demonstrates the growing excitement around the Hall of Fame Series and the region's passion for college basketball," said Melissa Meacham-Grossman, President of Position Sports. "With Maryland headlining alongside respected local programs like Coppin State, Towson, and Loyola, this event highlights the incredible basketball tradition in and around Baltimore. It's an honor to partner with the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame to bring these matchups back to the world-class CFG Bank Arena."
 
Further details regarding ticketing, game time, broadcast coverage, and media credentials for the event will be shared at a later date. 

Ticket information will be available soon. Terrapin Club members should stay tuned to their email for exclusive presale information.
