What is new on the Rivalry Tour

This is the first tour of the Globetrotters’ second century. The Washington Generals are back, two new rival teams join the schedule, and fans can vote live on new in-game challenges. A free pre-game party starts when the doors open, the teams wear new uniforms, and a limited-edition half-Globetrotters, half-Generals ball marks about 75 years of the rivalry.

Afternoon or evening: picking a game

Afternoon games, usually at noon, 1, 2 or 3 PM, suit younger kids and long drives home. Evening games mostly start at 7:00 PM and are the main option on weeknights. Seats close to the floor are where players most often pull fans into the act, while upper-level seats see the whole court and are easier for big groups to sit together.
