Milwaukee Bucks to Celebrate HBCU Night, Presented by Johnson Controls, on Sunday, Feb. 22, Vs. Toronto Raptors

MILWAUKEE (Feb. 20, 2026) – The Milwaukee Bucks will celebrate the fifth annual HBCU Night, presented by Johnson Controls, on Sunday, Feb. 22, when they host the Toronto Raptors at 2:30 p.m. at Fiserv Forum. Part of the Bucks’ Black History Month celebrations, HBCU Night honors the legacy and excellence of historically Black colleges and universities and those who attended them.

For the fifth consecutive year, the Bucks and Johnson Controls have teamed up to present scholarships to Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) seniors planning to attend an HBCU. The winners of the two $10,000 scholarships and an additional five $1,000 scholarship winners will be honored during the game.

Sunday’s in-game celebrations will further the NBA’s commitment to elevating HBCUs following the league’s HBCU Classic, an annual matchup between two HBCU men’s basketball teams played in conjunction with NBA All-Star Weekend. The Bucks will showcase this year’s game between North Carolina A&T and Hampton University, which took place on Friday, Feb. 13, with a special performance from the North Carolina A&T Blue & Gold Marching Machine at halftime.

Fans at Sunday’s game will hear music from DJ Nic Stokes, a Divine Nine fraternity member with Kappa Alpha Psi, with a featured pregame playlist. Burdick Middle School and Ronald Reagan High School, the middle and high school winners of MPS’ 2025 Battle of the Drumlines competition, will also entertain fans on Sunday.

Following Sunday’s game, more than 600 students from the Milwaukee area will attend the second annual Bucks HBCU Experience, presented by Johnson Controls, on Monday, Feb. 23. Students at the event will hear from local HBCU alumni, who will reflect on the culture, history and academic traditions unique to their HBCU experience. Representatives from more than 20 HBCUs will attend to help students learn more about HBCUs and explore opportunities to continue their education.

A special ticket package, which includes a ticket to the game and a Bucks HBCU Night scarf, is still available at www.bucks.com/HBCU.
