Duke Basketball to Tip Off 2026-27 with Countdown to Craziness
9/8/2026 10:00:00 AM | Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, Athletics
DURHAM, N.C. – Duke Basketball will tip off the 2026-27 season with Countdown to Craziness on Saturday, Oct. 3, bringing the Blue Devil men's and women's teams together with fans for an evening of entertainment, on-court competitions, team introductions and more at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The celebration begins at 3 p.m. in Card Gym Lot and Krzyzewskiville, adjacent to Cameron Indoor Stadium, with a Fan Fest that is free and open to the public. The outdoor festivities will feature local food trucks, a basketball court, inflatables, games, music, a beer garden and more. The Duke men's and women's basketball teams will make their blue carpet appearances at Fan Fest beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Fans can also add to their Countdown experience with two special ticketed opportunities - the Duke Basketball Tour and Cameron Crazie Photo Experience. The 30-minute Duke Basketball Tour provides a behind-the-scenes look at the program with stops at the Duke Basketball Museum, media room, K-Center and Cameron Indoor Stadium, capped by a photo on Coach K Court. The Cameron Crazie Photo Experience gives fans the chance to get game-day ready with face paint and props before a professional photo shoot and their own personalized Duke Basketball magazine cover. These unique opportunities will be offered from 3-6 p.m. Space for both experiences is limited, and advance purchase is encouraged.
Doors to Cameron Indoor Stadium open at 6 p.m., with programming beginning at 7 p.m. The evening inside Cameron will feature performances by the Duke spirit squad and pep band before the 2026-27 Blue Devils take center stage. Following introductions of the men's and women's teams, head coach Kara Lawson's women's team will conduct a scrimmage, while head coach Jon Scheyer's men's team will also take part in a scrimmage, plus a dunk contest.
The Duke men open the regular season against Army West Point on Monday, Nov. 2, at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Before the regular-season opener, the Blue Devils host Belmont for a scrimmage on Thursday, Oct. 8, and Tennessee for an exhibition on Tuesday, Oct. 20, before traveling to Kansas for an exhibition Sunday, Oct. 25.
The Duke women open the 2026-27 season Tuesday, Nov. 3, against Green Bay at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
