UConn, Michigan set for NCAA championship game rematch in first week of 2026-27 college-basketball season
The NCAA will run back last season's national championship game immediately at the start of the 2026-27 season.
The NCAA knows it had a good thing when Michigan and UConn squared off in the national championship game in April. While the game was, at times, not pretty, it was exciting, with Michigan pulling off a narrow 69-63 win to claim the national title . If Dan Hurley and UConn are seeking revenge for that loss, they won’t have to wait long for that opportunity.
Both teams will square off in a rematch of the national championship game during the first week of the 2026-27 college-basketball season, the NCAA announced Wednesday. That rematch is scheduled for Nov. 6.
