UNLV will play California in a home-and-home basketball series beginning next season.

The Rebels play at Cal on Nov. 12, and the Bears will make a trip to Las Vegas on Nov. 14, 2020.

UNLV’s schedule has not been released, but the Rebels also are expected to play at Brigham Young and Cincinnati next season and host two Power Five schools that have not been named.

“We know how important having a competitive, attractive schedule is to our fan base,” UNLV athletic director Desiree Reed-Francois said in a statement. “We live in one of the world’s great destinations, and we look forward to continuing to enhance our schedule in the years ahead.”
