Appalachian State’s men’s basketball program has released its full slate of home games for the 2026‑27 season, promising a packed schedule that blends exhibition play with a rigorous non‑conference slate. The announcement comes as the Mountaineers look to build on a strong recent run that has seen them post a 35‑8 record since the start of the 2023‑24 campaign.
Key matchups and dates
Fans can mark their calendars for a series of high‑profile contests, beginning with an exhibition game against Western Carolina on October 20, followed by a showdown with North Texas on November 20, a meeting with Dartmouth on November 29, and a home clash against East Carolina on December 13. In addition, nine Sun Belt Conference battles will be staged at the Holmes Convocation Center, underscoring the team’s commitment to its regional rivals.
Ticket pricing and fan incentives
Season‑ticket holders will find a range of pricing options designed to reward different segments of the fan base. Faculty and staff can secure seats for $155, while members of the Yosef Club will pay $250. All season‑ticket purchasers also have the opportunity to purchase a digital parking pass for $125, adding convenience to the game‑day experience. The renewal deadline for existing ticket holders is October 9, after which remaining inventory will be released to the general public.
Coach Dustin Kerns emphasized the importance of a full house, noting that the team’s recent success has been fueled by the energy generated in the Convocation Center. ‘Our home record under Coach Kerns stands at 75‑29, and we’re eager to see that momentum continue with a sold‑out crowd,’ he said, highlighting the program’s 35‑8 record since the 2023‑24 season began.
The schedule also leaves room for an additional home contest that could be announced in the coming weeks, a prospect that has already sparked excitement among the fan base. With a blend of competitive matchups, affordable ticket tiers, and a historic home winning percentage, the 2026‑27 season promises to be a marquee year for Appalachian State basketball.
