Creighton Bluejays Reveal 2026‑27 Non‑Conference Schedule

The university’s athletics department announced the full slate of non‑conference games that the Bluejays will contest during the upcoming 2026‑27 season, marking the first major move under new head coach Alan Huss.

The schedule kicks off with two exhibition matchups before the team travels to the Players Era 16 Tournament, a showcase event that will test the squad against a variety of opponents early in the campaign.

Fans eager to attend games in person can now register interest in purchasing season tickets through an online portal, a process that underscores the program’s growing community engagement.

Beyond the early‑season exhibitions, the Bluejays will face a demanding slate of opponents, including Kansas State, Iowa State, Minnesota, Kansas City, Le Moyne, Iowa, Michigan, TCU, Miami (Fla.), Oral Roberts, Nebraska, Gonzaga and Mount St. Mary’s, spread across the fall and winter months.

A March Showdown in the BIG EAST

The regular season will culminate with participation in the BIG EAST Conference Tournament in March, a tournament that offers the team a final opportunity to earn postseason accolades and a potential berth in the NCAA tournament.

Coach Huss emphasized that the schedule is designed not only to test the team’s depth but also to prepare them for the rigors of conference play, noting that each opponent brings a distinct style of play that will help sharpen the Bluejays’ versatility.
