2025 HBCU All-Star Basketball Game Will Be Held During NCAA Final Four
The 2025 HBCU All-Star Game will be held in San Antonio, the host city of the NCAA Final Four. For the first time since the inception of the event, a women’s game will be added.
The games will take place at the 10,000-seat Freeman Coliseum, on April 6-7, between the NCAA Men’s Final Four games at the Alamodome on Saturday and Monday.
On the court, the event will feature 24 male and 24 female student-athletes. Additionally, the 2025 Women’s Watch List highlights the best female HBCU athletes the HBCU All-Star Game team is watching. Because of various reasons, many of the star players from HBCUs have received the attention they deserve. But now they’ll have the opportunity to play in front of WNBA scouts, pro teams, and executives.
In a statement, Travis L. Williams, CEO and founder of the HBCU All-Star Games, expressed his excitement about the highly-anticipated event.
“This game is about honoring the rich heritage and promoting the success of these remarkable athletes,” Williams said. “It’s an epic moment to show the world that HBCUs matter and celebrate the best in Black college basketball during Final Four weekend.”
