A New Chapter for West Coast Basketball
The West Coast Conference has unveiled its complete slate of home and away matchups for the upcoming 2026‑27 men’s basketball season, laying out a 16‑game schedule for each of its ten member institutions.
While the full list of opponents is now public, the conference notes that exact dates and game times will be announced in the coming weeks, giving schools and fans alike a chance to plan ahead.
Loyola Marymount University’s schedule features a blend of familiar rivals and new challenges, including home and away games against Denver, Portland, Saint Mary’s, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Clara and Seattle U. The Lions will also host Pacific at their home court, avoiding a trip to Stockton.
Pepperdine, meanwhile, will forgo its usual setting at the Gersten Pavilion this year, opting instead to stage a single regular‑season meeting with its opponent in Malibu, a move that reflects a broader reshuffling of venue logistics across the league.
Season ticket deposit information has been made available, allowing supporters to secure their seats ahead of the official release of the schedule’s details.
What This Means for the Conference
The updated schedule promises a tightly packed conference slate, with each team navigating a mix of regional travel and home‑court advantages. Analysts expect the new arrangement to heighten competition, especially as traditional rivalries are preserved while fresh matchups add intrigue.
Fans across California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and beyond will have ample opportunities to catch live action, with games spread across arenas from the West Coast’s coastal cities to the mountain states.
