Mississippi State University’s men’s basketball team is set to open its 2026‑27 campaign with an exhibition matchup against Memphis on October 23 at the Humphrey Coliseum in Starkville, Mississippi.
Ticket Sale Schedule
Tickets will be released in a tiered presale beginning later this week, starting with a premium presale on Wednesday, followed by a season‑ticket holder sale on Thursday and a public sale on Friday.
Alongside the exhibition, the Bulldogs are marketing 2026‑27 season tickets and promoting a slate of concerts headlined by country star Hardy and comedian Nate Bargatze, giving fans multiple ways to engage with the program.
Coaching Continuity
Coach Chris Jans, who guided the Bulldogs to three NCAA Tournament appearances in his first four seasons, will lead the team into the new season, aiming to build on that momentum.
The regular season opener is scheduled for November 2 against Tennessee Tech, also at Humphrey Coliseum, marking the start of a full slate of home games.
Fans can secure tickets through the university’s official ticket portal, www.HailState.com, and stay updated via the program’s social media channels under the handle 'HailStateMBK' on Facebook, X and Instagram.
