NORMAN — The University of Oklahoma, in partnership with Paycom Center and Oklahoma State University, announced Friday that the Sooners and Cowboys will continue the Bedlam basketball rivalry with a men's and women's doubleheader at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2026.
Oklahoma swept last season's Bedlam doubleheader in Oklahoma City, extending its winning streak to four consecutive games in the men's series and seven straight in the women's.
Fans can attend both games with a single ticket. Oklahoma season ticket holders will receive an email with information on a presale, which will begin July 27 at 10 a.m. CT. General public tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster on Aug. 7. OU students will receive ticket details after the start of the fall semester. Game times will be announced at a later date.
Last season, head coach Porter Moser's Sooners defeated Oklahoma State 85-76 in OKC behind 21 points from rising senior Xzayvier Brown. Oklahoma leads the all-time men's series, 145-106.
The OU women own a 70-47 advantage in the all-time series and have not lost to Oklahoma State under head coach Jennie Baranczyk, winning each of the last seven contests. Last season, Oklahoma earned a 92-70 Bedlam victory behind a combined 33 points and 13 assists from returning Sooners Sahara Williams and Aaliyah Chavez.
The in-state rivals have met at least once every season in men's basketball since 1927-28, while the women's programs squared off annually from 1975 through 2024 before resuming the series in 2025.
