WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest men's basketball will conclude a two-year neutral site series with West Virginia on December, 19, 2026 at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, N.C.

The Demon Deacons and Mountaineers faced off last December at the Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, W.Va., for the first edition of the Holiday Hoopfest as Wake Forest led for nearly 32 minutes in a 75-66 victory.

This will be the 12th all-time meeting between Wake Forest and West Virginia and the first in the state of North Carolina since Dec. 3, 1975, a 93-80 victory for the Demon Deacons.

Wake Forest is coming off its third postseason appearance over the last five seasons, as the Deacs earned a No. 1 seed in the NIT.

West Virginia, meanwhile, won the College Basketball Crown tournament earlier this month.

Tip time, television and ticket information for this year's matchup – along with additional schedule announcements – will be made at a later date.
