Well hereās some fun news: Duke and Illinois will crank up a home-and-home series, starting in November.
Illinois will come to Cameron first, on November 17th. Thatās pretty early for a big game, but big games are fun. Crank it up!
Duke will return the favor next year, going to Champaign on December 4th, 2027.
We really appreciate Jon Scheyer for putting together tough schedules.
This should be really fun with Brad Underwoodās recent focus on building around European talents. Thatās going to force Duke to really respond defensively.
Weāll have more later.
The Duke vs Illinois basketball game is scheduled for November 17, 2026.
Duke will host Illinois on November 17, 2026, and then visit Illinois on December 4, 2027.
