Legendary sports franchise celebrates 100 years of entertaining fans

The Harlem Globetrotters are celebrating a milestone anniversary in 2026.

The legendary basketball squad, which was founded in 1926, has been delighting sports fans and families now for a full century.

So, make sure to come on out and help the Globetrotters celebrate the occasion when they bring their 100 Years Tour to Northern California.

It’s your chance to witness one of the most famous sports/entertainment franchises of all time while being amazed by plenty of crazy trick shots, incredible no-look passes and humorous hi-jinks.

“From gravity-defying dunks to game-changing tricks, fans will feel the history, the joy, and the fun that only the Globetrotters can deliver,” promises a news release about the Globetrotters’ 100 Years tour.

The Harlem Globetrotters will be facing off against their usual revivals — the ever-hopeful Washington Generals — at four different NorCal venues.

First up, the Globetrotters will take the court at 7 p.m. Jan. 15 at Kaiser Permanente Arena in Santa Cruz, followed by 3 p.m. games at Tech CU Arena in San Jose on Jan. 17 and Chase Center in San Francisco on Jan. 18.
