The game is part of a doubleheader set to be played at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Boston University and Harvard will play one another in the other game.
It was first reported in April the Nittany Lions and Friars would square off, but no date was announced.
Mike Rhoades is entering his third season as head coach of the Nittany Lions. Penn State finished last season with a disappointing 16-17 record. Providence ended the 2024-25 campaign with a 21-14 record and a .500 record in the Big East.
The Nittany Lions and Friars have only faced each other three times in program history, with Penn State holding a 2-1 record. The most recent matchup came in 2012, when the blue and white won 55-52 in overtime.
Penn State last played at Mohegan Sun Arena in November of 2016, where it lost to Duke and Cincinnati in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament.
