COLLEGE PARK, MD – For the first time in nearly a decade, Maryland and Georgetown will meet on the hardwood as both teams have announced today a four-game series starting with the 2025-26 season.
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.
Perhaps one of the most iconic meetings came in 1993 – the only time the two teams played between 1980 and 2001 – where Maryland upset No. 15 Georgetown 84-83 in overtime at USAir Arena in Landover. Joe Smith scored 26 points and Duane Simpkins hit the game-winner in overtime. That sparked a run during the season that saw the Terps ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time since 1985-86 and a trip to the Sweet 16. It also marked the first of 11 straight trips to the NCAA Tournament for Maryland.
Season tickets for the 2024-25 season are now on sale starting at $199. Maryland Young Alumni (those who graduated within the last five years) receive a 48 percent discount on season tickets, while current Maryland Parents who have a student enrolled for the year are eligible for a 20 percent discount on two season tickets.
The Terps' returning players are highlighted by rising senior Julian Reese, rising sophomore DeShawn Harris-Smith, and fifth-year senior Jordan Geronimo. Maryland has one of the top incoming transfer classes in the Big Ten: Ja'Kobi Gillespie (Belmont), Selton Miguel (South Florida), Rodney Rice (Virginia Tech) and Tafara Gapare (Georgia Tech). Additionally, the Terps signed five-star McDonald's All-American Derik Queen (Baltimore) and four-star guard Malachi Palmer (Harrisburg, Pa.).
The non-conference slate for the 2024-25 season will officially open on Monday, Nov. 4 against Manhattan at the XFINITY Center. Tip-off times and television assignments, as well as dates for Big Ten games, will be announced at a later time. All games will air on the Maryland Sports Radio Network with legendary Voice of the Terps Johnny Holliday calling the action alongside Chris Knoche and Walt Williams.
