For the first time in nearly a decade, Maryland and Georgetown will play each other in college basketball as both teams have announced today a four-game series starting with the 2025-26 season.
The first game will be during the 2025-26 season with the Terps hosting at Xfinity Center on Maryland’s campus and they will return as hosts in 2027-28 season. The Hoyas welcome the Terps to Capital One Arena during the 2026-27 and 2028-29 matchups.
Per UMTerps: “The two programs will open the series next season (Fall 2025) at the XFINITY Center before then playing at Capital One Arena in Washington, DC, during the 2026-27 campaign. In 2027-28, the Terps will again host, while the Hoyas will host in 2028-29.
All-time, Maryland is 38-27 against Georgetown. The last time the two teams met was Nov. 15, 2016. From 1935-1980, the teams met at least once annually with the exception of a three-year pause due to World War II. The series dates back to the first game on Feb. 15, 1911 – a 31-25 win for Georgetown.
The teams have twice played in the NCAA Tournament. The first was in 1980 in Philadelphia and the second was in 2001 in Anaheim, California, during the Terps’ run to their first Final Four appearance.”
