Curtain Up, Nets Up: Harlem Globetrotters Bring the 100-Year Tour to Indy
Gainbridge Fieldhouse will be the epicenter of spin moves, sky-walks, and side-splitting fun when the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters tip off their Centennial Celebration with a doubleheader in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026 (2 p.m. & 7 p.m.).
The red-white-and-blue showstoppers are rolling in with a once-in-a-century party: brand-new 100-Year uniforms, the debut of Spalding’s Golden Basketball, and classic hijinks against their forever foils, the Washington Generals. Expect the full Globetrotter playbook—gravity-teasing dunks, ankle-melting handles, and laugh-out-loud trickery—plus a fan-first finish with an all-fans 5th Quarter autograph session.
Want to be part of the action? Premium experiences let you warm up with the team (Celebrity Court Pass), snag VIP Bench seats right next to the players, or roll in early for the Magic Pass meet-and-greet. Collectors can level up with the Limited-Edition 100-Year Golden Replica Game Ball and a commemorative 100-Year Tour souvenir ticket (available in select markets).
This milestone tour salutes a legacy that rewrote basketball culture—from trailblazers like Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton, Wilt Chamberlain, Connie Hawkins, Curly Neal, and Meadowlark Lemon, to today’s co-ed roster that holds 60+ Guinness World Records (18 set just last year). As the sport’s “Ambassadors of Goodwill,” the Globetrotters have inspired crowds in 124+ countries while championing health, education, and community empowerment.
