The Gators welcome another sold out crowd on Friday.

The No. 10/9 Florida men’s basketball team has officially sold out Friday’s matchup against Merrimack, the Gator Ticket Office announced Tuesday.


This marks the second consecutive home sellout for the Gators, following the Nov. 11 victory over Florida State that drew 10,785 fans. Dating back to last season, Florida has sold out 11 of its last 13 home contests. During the 2024-25 campaign, the Gators averaged 10,039 fans per game (99% capacity) and recorded nine sellouts.


Florida heads into Friday’s game with a 3-1 record after Sunday’s neutral-site win over in-state rival Miami.


Fans attending Friday’s contest against Merrimack will receive a 2025 NCAA National Championship replica ring, presented by Meldon Law.
