JONESBORO, Ark. — The Harlem Globetrotters have announced that Jonesboro will host a stop on their “Harlem Globetrotters: Rivalry Tour” on March 13, 2026, at First National Bank Arena.
This season is set to offer fans a revamped experience, featuring a new game format, fresh rivalries, and heightened challenges. The tour also aims to engage audiences beyond watching the game, inviting fans to participate through interactive elements both on the court and on the jumbotron.

- **Ultimate Fan Pass**: A first-look on-court experience before general admission. - **MVP Court Pass**: Access to be on the court with the Globetrotters during pregame moments. - **VIP Bench Tickets**: Front-row seats on the bench for the entire game, available for either the Globetrotters or their rivals.
The Rivalry Tour also features new uniforms, updated team colors, and freshly designed merchandise. Additionally, a limited-edition Harlem Globetrotters Rivals Replica Game Ball by Spalding will highlight the 75-year history of the Harlem Globetrotters-Washington Generals rivalry. The ball will be available at all tour stops.
