Oklahoma has unveiled its complete 2026‑27 men’s basketball schedule, a slate that blends a demanding non‑conference slate with a full 18‑game SEC campaign.
A demanding non‑conference slate
The season will open at home on November 2 against East Texas A&M, giving the Sooners a chance to build early momentum on their own floor.
A marquee early test arrives on November 26, when Oklahoma travels to Fort Myers, Florida, to meet Purdue in a neutral‑site showdown that could significantly boost its NCAA tournament résumé.
Purdue, fresh off an Elite Eight appearance, will be without several of its star contributors from last season, but the team is expected to reload with new talent, making the matchup a pivotal early gauge of the Sooners’ strength.
The traditional Bedlam rivalry will resume on December 12 in Oklahoma City, where the Sooners have won four straight meetings, the latest an 85‑76 victory in 2025.
SEC battles and the road to March
Texas, bolstered by standouts Austin Goosby and Matas Vokietaitis, represents another key SEC opponent on February 20, promising a competitive clash that could shape conference standings.
The regular season will close on March 3 with a home game against Arkansas, coached by John Calipari and featuring Jordan Smith Jr., a game that could serve as the final résumé builder before the postseason.
