The Lindenwood Lions have released their complete 2026‑27 men’s basketball schedule, a 31‑game lineup that blends early‑season exhibitions with a rigorous non‑conference slate and a home‑heavy Ohio Valley Conference run.
Season Highlights
The campaign opens with an exhibition matchup against Southern Illinois on October 20, giving the team a first chance to test new lineups before the official start.
The first regular‑season game comes on November 2 at TCU, followed by back‑to‑back home contests on November 5 and 7 that set a lively tone for the early schedule.
November’s road portion includes trips to face Nebraska, Omaha and Northern Iowa on the 11th, 13th and 17th, while a neutral‑site mini‑tournament in Stony Brook pairs the Lions with New Haven and the host Seawolves on the 24th and 25th.
December features a stretch of four straight home games against Omaha, Mission College, Northern Illinois and Westminster, before the team heads to Kansas for contests at Kansas City and Kansas State on the 19th and 21st.
The Ohio Valley Conference opener arrives on December 30 against SIUE, and January brings a four‑game home stand against UT Martin, Southern Indiana and Morehead State, punctuated by a road game at Eastern Illinois on the 16th.
The final month of the regular season sees the Lions embark on three consecutive road games at Tennessee State, UT Martin and Western Illinois before closing at home against Southern Indiana, SIUE and Western Illinois.
The campaign culminates with the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana, from March 3 to 6, a venue the team reached in the past two seasons’ quarterfinals.
