A Century of Basketball Magic -- The Harlem Globetrotters Story
The Harlem Globetrotters were founded in 1926 by Abe Saperstein in Chicago, Illinois. Originally a competitive basketball team, they quickly became known for their entertaining style of play -- weaving comedy, athleticism, and showmanship into every game. Over the decades, the Globetrotters have played more than 26,000 exhibition games in over 120 countries, becoming one of the most recognized and beloved sports entertainment brands in the world.
The team has featured some of the most iconic players in basketball history. Meadowlark Lemon, known as the "Clown Prince of Basketball," was the teams most famous performer for over two decades. Curly Neal dazzled audiences with his ball-handling skills, and Wilt Chamberlain -- who went on to become one of the greatest NBA players of all time -- started his career as a Globetrotter. Today, a new generation of stars carries the torch, bringing modern athleticism and fresh comedy to a show format that has entertained families for a century.
The 100 Year Tour is a milestone celebration that honors the Globetrotters legacy while pushing the show to new heights. The tour features enhanced production elements, special anniversary moments, and the same world-class trick shots and comedy that have made the Globetrotters a must-see event for generations. The tour launched at Madison Square Garden in New York City in December 2025 and continues into 2026 and 2027 with dates across North America and internationally, including a stop at the O2 Arena in London.
A Globetrotters show is perfect for all ages. Kids love the interactive segments where players pull fans onto the court for hilarious bits, while adults appreciate the jaw-dropping athleticism on display. The pre-show experience typically includes opportunities to meet players, get autographs, and shoot hoops on the court before the main event begins. Its a complete entertainment package that delivers far more than a typical sporting event.
The Globetrotters have also made a significant cultural impact beyond basketball. They were pioneers in breaking racial barriers in professional sports, and their international tours helped build goodwill and cultural connections around the world. The Harlem Globetrotters official website features a full schedule, player bios, and ticket information for all upcoming shows.
