CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – The world-famous Harlem Globetrotters are returning to Clarksville for the team’s 100 Year Tour, playing at F&M Bank Arena on Jan. 30, 2026.

The team will debut their new 100 Year jerseys as they face off against their longtime rivals, the Washington Generals, according to a press release. Fans can also expect new features like the Golden Basketball by Spalding, epic pre-game Magic Pass experiences, and a 5th Quarter Autograph session that’s free for all fans.

The Globetrotters have been bringing the fun for a century, but they’ve also been making history, including breaking the NBA color barrier with alums like Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton signing a pro contract as a member of the New York Knicks, the release said. Players have included Wilt Chamberlain, Connie Hawkins, Curly Neal and Meadowlark Lemon. They’ve ushered women into professional basketball, and the Globetrotters were the first team to globalize the game of basketball. The current team holds over 60 Guinness World Records, including 18 set just last year, the most of any team in any sport.
