The Indy Classic is a doubleheader college basketball showcase held annually at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. It replaced the previously popular Crossroads Classic. It features the Purdue Boilermakers and the Ball State Cardinals. The other two teams have rotated through the years to include the Davidson Wildcats, the Illinois State Redbirds, the Arizona Wildcats and the Indiana State Sycamores.

The showcase is an annual fundraiser for the Indiana Sport's Corp's non-profit mission.

President of the nonprofit Indiana Sports Corp has confirmed that they are working to schedule teams through the 2027 season.

History

In 2022, the doubleheader was founded as a replacement to the Crossroads Classic. An indefinite agreement has been made with the stakeholders to host the event each December.

In 2023, the event was a sell out crowd. Peacock had exclusive broadcast rights to games, and viewing was only available through their streaming service. The #1 Arizona Wildcats were upset by #3 Purdue Boilermakers

In 2024, the headliner match up will be between #11 Purdue Boilermakers and #17 Texas A&M. #20 Wisconsin and Butler are both making their first appearance in the showcase.

In 2025, the headliner match up will be between Purdue Boilermakers and Auburn.
