The Cardinals home schedule could be slightly better, but let's not take it for granted. Louisville is set to host some exciting games in the 2025-26 season, and it will be highlighted by the Duke Blue Devils. When Duke comes into town, KFC Yum! Center is going to be rocking. It will be the best atmosphere of the college basketball season and a game featuring NBA-caliber players.
Louisville is also set to host some elite players and teams that are poised to make a jump this year. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and North Carolina State Wolfpack will play at Louisville next season, making for a thrilling matchup in the ACC.
The Fighting Irish have the second-best 2025 class in the ACC, having earned four total commitments, including 5-star Jalen Haralson. North Carolina State will be led by 5-star transfer Darrion Williams and is expected to be a team on the bubble, causing chaos in the ACC.
Also, coming to KFC Yum! Center is SMU, Syracuse, and Georgia Tech. All three programs are among the top six in the ACC for their incoming freshmen. Louisville's home schedule is going to be filled with elite players, rising stars, and future NBA stars, making them all must-watch games.
