The Atlantic 10 Conference announced its 2026‑27 men’s basketball schedule, laying out a full slate of conference pairings that will test the Richmond Spiders as they begin their 26th season in the league.
Conference matchups
Richmond’s schedule features home‑and‑home series against Davidson, George Washington, Rhode Island, St. Bonaventure and VCU, while the team will also host Duquesne, Fordham, Loyola Chicago and Saint Louis and travel to Dayton, George Mason, La Salle and Saint Joseph’s.
Player movement and expectations
The 2026‑27 Spiders are anchored by sophomore standout Aiden Argabright, who returns after a breakout year, and a roster that welcomes six incoming transfers: Andrew Ball, Amon Dörries, Jamie Kaiser Jr., Jack McCaffery, Derin Saran and Dominick Stewart. Their addition adds depth and experience as the program looks to build on recent successes.
Ticket demand and historic context
Spider Athletics is currently accepting deposits from new season‑ticket holders, reflecting strong early interest. The schedule also underscores long‑standing rivalries, including the 14th consecutive season of a home‑and‑home series against VCU and a nine‑win stretch against George Washington, as well as a sweep of St. Bonaventure that marks the first such sweep since the 2014‑15 campaign.
With the conference realignment stable and the non‑conference slate set, the Spiders aim to extend their recent dominance and contend for another Atlantic 10 title.
