From Chicago to the world
What began in Chicago in 1926 as a courageous step against exclusion became a worldwide legend. A team of African-American players shook up the sport - with skill, charisma and a game that changed everything. Today, the name Harlem Globetrotters is synonymous worldwide with spectacular basketball - and show sport like no other. But instead of resting on their laurels, they go one better at every show. This tour is not a retrospective - it's a statement: their style of play is more creative, explosive and inspiring today than ever before - and continues to influence players from the NBA and beyond.

Basketball on a level of its own
The focus is on sport. But not just any sport. Trick shots from your own half, dunks with plenty of air time, ball control in high-speed mode, passing sequences like something out of a video game. All with perfect timing, wit and a real show feeling. The Harlem Globetrotters are not just masters of the game - they perform with the ball, surprise their audience and push the boundaries between athleticism and artistry. This is exactly what makes them icons in Jersey - for generations.

Showtime for the whole family
What the Harlem Globetrotters can do will set any arena on fire. Anyone who has ever been there knows that they don't just play - they cheer, laugh and marvel. The court becomes the stage, the audience becomes the crew. Grandparents, parents, teens, kids - everyone celebrates a spectacle that perfectly combines speed, humor and emotion. And right in the middle of it all: audience favorites Globie and Big G. With moves, gags and lots of charm, they sweep everyone off their feet - family entertainment at its best.

Right in the middle instead of just being there
With the Celebrity Court Pass, the experience begins even before the first basket - during the warm-up directly on the court. The Magic Pass offers exclusive encounters, selfies and autographs with the stars. And the Player's Bench Fan Ticket gives you a seat right on the bench of the Harlem Globetrotters or their perennial rivals, the Washington Generals - it doesn't get any closer than that. It's more than just watching - it's right in the thick of it, live, unforgettable.

Moments for the ages
When the Harlem Globetrotters defeated the top team of the era - the Minneapolis Lakers - twice in 1948 and 1949, they made sports history. In 1950, Nathaniel "Sweetwater" Clifton became the first African-American basketball player to sign an NBA contract. Just one year later, they played in front of over 75,000 fans in Berlin's Olympic Stadium - a legendary moment. In the 70s, they became cartoon heroes on US TV, in 1982 they received their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in 1985 Lynette Woodard added another chapter to history: as the first woman on the team, she set a strong example for equality and diversity. In 2002, the Harlem Globetrotters were inducted into the basketball hall of fame - the legendary Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Records, relevance, reach
Personalities such as Nelson Mandela, Pope Francis and Whoopi Goldberg became honorary Globetrotters - a sign of the team's global appeal. Today, the players celebrate records on all stages: with their show in 124 countries, with over 150 million fans worldwide and with a record hunt that has left its mark in the Guinness Book of Records. They have long been a digital phenomenon: over 4.2 million followers follow the Harlem Globetrotters on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and more - a community as colorful and captivating as their shows.

More than just a game
The Globetrotters also take a stand off the court. They visit schools, campaign for education and integration and stand for respect, tolerance and togetherness worldwide. For them, basketball is more than just a sport - it is an encounter, movement and connection.

An experience with heart and attitude
The "100 Years World Tour" brings their story to where they feel at home - on the court. And it shows how basketball becomes a real experience: fast, funny, emotional. The Harlem Globetrotters combine what separates others - high performance and fun, show and skills, sport and soul.
