In recent years, UCLA has participated in the annual CBS Sports Classic that’s been played at Madison Square Garden in New York and one year it was in Atlanta.
That’s not the case for the 2025-26 season.
A statement from AD Martin Jarmond via UCLA Athletics on that change:
“We’re always assessing how we can improve the men’s basketball program, and a big part of that is evaluating our team’s schedule. We value our long-standing partnership with CBS and look forward to working with them in the future. But as we explore future schedule options, it’s important that we are strategic and have some flexibility. We want to bolster our home schedule, and I know that our fans are excited for the opportunity to add a game in Pauley Pavilion.”
