The University of Wyoming Cowboys have unveiled their full slate for the 2026‑27 men’s basketball season, a schedule that blends challenging non‑conference road trips with a compact home conference slate.
Key non‑conference matchups
The season opens on November 3 with a home game against Regis, then the team travels to Chapel Hill on November 10 for a much‑anticipated clash with North Carolina, a program they last faced in a 2003 NIT second‑round loss. A week later they head to Daytona Beach to compete in the Sunshine Slam Tournament, where they will play three other teams from November 22 through 24.
Conference play begins on January 2 when Wyoming hosts Nevada, followed by road contests at UTEP and Grand Canyon later in the month. The Mountain West tournament is slated for March 10‑13 in Las Vegas, offering a final chance to secure a postseason berth.
Recent roster additions have bolstered the lineup, including a guard who captured gold at a recent international tournament and a 6‑11 forward, both expected to add depth and versatility.
Overall, the schedule reflects a deliberate effort to test the Cowboys against quality opponents while building chemistry ahead of a competitive Mountain West campaign.
