Coastal Classic – Loyola Marymount vs. South Alabama Men’s Basketball: November 12, 2026 at the Pensacola Bay Center

When: Thursday, November 12, 2026. Tip-off 7 p.m., doors open 6 p.m.
Where: Pensacola Bay Center, 201 E. Gregory St., Pensacola
Tickets: From $10

Loyola Marymount University and the University of South Alabama meet in downtown Pensacola for the first Coastal Classic, an early-season men’s basketball game that the Bay Center bills as part of its Pensacola Hardwood Series. Tickets start at $10, and downtown Pensacola is just across the Pensacola Bay Bridge from Gulf Breeze.

The Bay Center’s box office is (850) 432-0800. The same series also includes Battle at the Bay (UWF vs. Florida State) on November 29.

Check before you cross the bridge: The Pensacola Bay Center’s event page showed this date as scheduled when we checked on October 23, 2026, fourteen days after Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin on October 9. Recovery is still under way around Pensacola Bay, so confirm with the organizer and check FL511 for road conditions before you go.
