A Milestone Matchup
The University of Wisconsin Badgers and Marquette University Golden Eagles are scheduled to meet on December 5, 2026, at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, marking another chapter in their annual early‑season rivalry.
A year ago the Badgers cruised to a 96‑66 victory on their home floor at the Kohl Center, improving to 7‑2 overall and remaining unbeaten at home at 6‑0. That win also represented Marquette's first true road test of the season, leaving the Golden Eagles at 5‑5.
Before the regular season begins, Marquette will stage an exhibition against the University of Wisconsin‑Green Bay at the same venue, offering a first look at the new roster configurations that both programs will bring to the court.
The upcoming contest promises to test early‑season form, with Wisconsin looking to extend its home dominance and Marquette aiming to rebound from last year's setback. Analysts will be watching how the teams' new pieces mesh under the bright lights of the Fiserv Forum.
