Get ready Lubbock, because something special is bouncing your way. The world-famous Harlem Globetrotters just announced that Lubbock is one of the major stops on their centennial celebration tour. On Sunday, March 29th, 2026 at 3:00 PM, the Globetrotters will take the court at United Supermarkets Arena, delivering 100 years of basketball magic, laughter, and jaw-dropping moves!
What to Expect: More Than Just Basketball
This won’t be your average game night. In honor of their 100-Year Tour, the Globetrotters are rolling out new 100-Year jerseys, facing off against their long-time rivals, The Washington Generals. Expect gravity-defying dunks, signature trick plays, and all the funny moments the Globetrotters are known for.

If you’re a collector (or know someone who is), there’s a special treat: a limited-edition 100-Year Golden Replica Game Ball by Spalding, plus souvenir tickets you can get in advance.
