A Revamped Non‑Conference Schedule
The Maryland Terrapins are set to bolster their 2026‑27 non‑conference slate with five new home contests, rounding out a schedule that already features high‑profile road trips against Virginia and Tennessee.
The first of those matchups will see the Terps host Bucknell on November 2, a reunion that marks the first meeting in two years and continues a streak of nine victories for Maryland over the Bison, some of which were decided by narrow margins.
A week later, Alcorn State will travel to College Park for the fourth straight season, underscoring the growing relationship between the programs and providing the Terps with another early‑season test.
On November 20, Maryland will rematch Wagner, looking to build on an 89‑63 win from the previous year, while the following week, on December 2, the team will welcome American, ending a ten‑year gap in the local series.
The schedule concludes with a home game against Radford on December 29, rounding out a diverse slate that blends regional rivals with programs from across the country.
Beyond the new opponents, the non‑conference schedule also promises marquee contests against the University of Virginia and the University of Tennessee, games that will be watched closely as the Terps aim to make an early statement.
