Michigan basketball will host Louisville on December 5 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, as part of a two-year neutral-site series. This comes after Michigan's planned game against Duke was canceled due to a broadcast rights dispute. Both teams are expected to compete in the preseason top 15, with Louisville having reached the NCAA Tournament in the last two seasons. They are set to meet again during the 2027-28 season in Indianapolis, adding to Michigan's already challenging nonconference schedule.
