Coretta Scott King Classic

UCLA vs. Baylor + Texas vs. Maryland

About

The inaugural Coretta Scott King Classic will be held on January 20, 2025 - Martin Luther King Jr. Day - at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, featuring four prestigious programs: Baylor, Maryland, Texas, and UCLA. The showcase will air on the FOX broadcast network.

The Coretta Scott King Classic (CSKC) was formed to honor the legacy of Mrs. King and celebrate female empowerment in sports. This is the first time the names of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King have been licensed for a sporting event. The CSKC joint venture partners have partnered with The King Center, founded by Coretta Scott King and currently led by their daughter Dr. Bernice A. King, to launch this event.

Broadcast nationally on FOX, the games will take place at 3:00 PM and 5:30 PM ET, with matchups of UCLA vs. Baylor and Texas vs. Maryland. Three of the four teams finished inside the top 15 of the 2023-24 Associated Press rankings, while two are projected to be placed in the preseason top 10 and another in the top 15.
