UNC Men’s Basketball to Participate in Cancun Challenge
GREELEY, Colo. - Thanksgiving traditions are great, but this year, we've got a better idea.
Instead of spending Thanksgiving week on the couch watching basketball, why not watch the UNC Bears play basketball from the beaches of Cancun, Mexico?
Catch the Bears taking on Southern Louisiana on Nov. 24 and one of North Dakota or Detroit Mercy on Nov. 25. Another opportunity will be back in the states on the road against the College of Charleston on Dec. 18.
The UNC Men's Basketball team is headed south to compete in the Cancun Challenge on November 24-25, 2026, and Bears fans have the opportunity to be part of the action with official travel ticket packages available now.
Picture yourself soaking up the warm Caribbean sunshine while cheering on the Bears as they take on programs from across the country in one of college basketball's premier early-season tournaments. It's the perfect opportunity to escape, enjoy a tropical getaway, and support the Bears on an international stage.
Whether you're an alumnus, a lifelong Bears fan, or simply looking for a unique Thanksgiving adventure, the Cancun Challenge offers an unforgettable experience filled with great basketball, beautiful beaches, and plenty of UNC pride.
Don't miss your chance to travel with the Bears and create memories that will last long after Thanksgiving dinner.
