HBCU Classics - Love & Basketball ❤️🏀🖤

2026 NBA HBCU Classic Update: Indoor Meet-Up Details
Please visit the event link for information regarding parking and bag policy. Note: The Forum is a cashless facility. The NBA All-Star game will be held earlier that afternoon, so the area will be busy. Please plan your arrival time accordingly. To make gathering smooth and stress-free, we will meet inside the arena.
Show unity by wearing your Black Everywhere swag. We will begin meeting at 7:30p on the Main Concourse inside the Kia Forum, directly in front of the Team Store. This location is easy to find once you pass through ticket entry. Once everyone is gathered, we will move to our section at approximately 7:50p, about 10 minutes before kickoff.
Our seats will be marked with printed BE signs to assist with locating our reserved row.
If you arrive after the group has moved from the Team Store area, please check Meetup for updated location details & join us! Looking forward to sharing this experience together.

Kicking off Valentine’s Weekend in true Black excellence style!
Friday, February 13th Los Angeles hosts the 2026 NBA HBCU Classic, featuring a Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) showdown between the Hampton University Pirates and the North Carolina A&T Aggies. Tip-off is 8:00pm at the iconic Kia Forum.

Tickets are unassigned general admission, so come early so we may gather as a group, settle in and enjoy the energy. To show collective unity, wearing your Black Everywhere swag is highly encouraged. Link here: BE swag
We are excited to hang out in community, culture, and creating connection through shared moments, shared pride, and a little Love & Basketball magic.
