Florida signs multi-year agreement with Players Era
By JAMES MADDEN
Florida has agreed to a multi-year agreement to participate in the Players Era Championship In Las Vegas, beginning next year.
“The Players Era Men’s Championship has already become one of the elite multi-team events in a short time, and we’re excited to be part of that growth and innovation,” said Florida head coach Todd Golden. “With the field assembled, Players Era will be a central piece of our nonconference schedule for the next several years.”
The Gators will join a 2026 field that will likely include teams like Alabama, Auburn, Baylor, Creighton, Gonzaga, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oregon, Rutgers, San Diego State, St. Joseph’s, St. John’s, Tennessee, Syracuse and UNLV.
“The University of Florida is the current standard bearer of excellence in NCAA men’s basketball and there is no higher peak than being able to add the defending national champions to the Players Era Men’s Championship field,” said Players ERA CEO Seth Berger. “Coach Golden has quickly established himself as one of the best coaches in the game, and we thank him for his support of our event and can’t wait to see them match up with other premier programs in 2026.”
The event takes place during Feast Week and is streamed by TNT Sports’ family of networks.
