The 300th all-time matchup between Boston University and Boston College will have a lot at stake on Monday, Feb. 9.
The Terriers and Eagles will square off at 7:30 p.m. ET from TD Garden in Boston for the championship game of the 2026 Beanpot. Boston University earned a 4-1 win over Boston College last season in the Beanpot final, earning its 32nd title in the history of the game.
The Beanpot pits the four Boston-area schools ― BU, BC, Harvard and Northeastern ― against one another for hockey supremacy rights in the city. The Terriers overcame a goal deficit twice to knockoff the Huskies in a shootout, while the Eagles are coming off a 5-1 win over the Crimson last Monday.
Boston College has won seven of its past nine meetings over Boston University, including a 4-1 win on Jan. 30.
