A packed non‑conference slate
Oklahoma State University’s men’s basketball program has released its complete non‑conference schedule for the 2026‑27 season, a 14‑game lineup that blends home‑court dominance with a demanding travel agenda.
Nine of those contests will be played on the familiar hardwood of Gallagher‑Iba Arena in Stillwater, giving the Cowboys a chance to build momentum in front of their home crowd before the calendar flips to November.
The team will also test itself at neutral sites, with games slated for the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City and the BOK Center in Tulsa, providing additional exposure for the program across the state.
Road trips include a highly anticipated visit to Texas A&M on November 12, while the Cowboys will also compete in the Rays Children’s Charleston Classic, facing a field that features Dayton, Minnesota, Northwestern, Utah and Virginia Tech over two days in late November.
The schedule also highlights a Bedlam doubleheader at the Paycom Center on December 12, where the men’s and women’s teams will meet in a rare same‑day showdown, underscoring the growing rivalry.
In a move enabled by recent NCAA scheduling reforms, Oklahoma State will play a 32nd regular‑season game and schedule a third exhibition in October, expanding its competitive footprint beyond traditional limits.
Season tickets go on sale starting at $175, and fans can find detailed event information through the university’s official ticketing portal.
Key dates and opponents
Notable home matchups include Incarnate Word on November 2, Queens on November 6 and Central Arkansas on November 16, while the non‑conference slate also features contests against Jackson State, Tennessee State, Grand Canyon, Saint Mary’s, Oral Roberts and Houston Christian later in the fall.
