Saint Louis University head coach Josh Schertz has announced the Billikens’ 2026‑27 non‑conference basketball schedule, a 11‑game lineup that blends home‑court dominance with a series of road and neutral‑site tests.
A packed non‑conference calendar
The schedule guarantees ten contests inside Chaifetz Arena, with an additional game at the Enterprise Center, and culminates in a six‑game December stretch that will see the team face Arkansas‑Pine Bluff, Southeast Missouri, DePaul, Florida A&M, Jackson State and Missouri Baptist.
The season opens with a road trip to Nebraska on October 9, followed by an exhibition matchup against Bradley on October 23, setting the stage for a November 2 home debut versus Lehigh.
Later in the month the Billikens will travel to Moraga, California, for a two‑day Acrisure Series in Palm Springs (Nov 24‑25) and then head to the inaugural A10/American Showcase against South Florida on Nov 29, while also renewing the rivalry with Missouri on Nov 6.
Game times and television designations will be released in the coming weeks, but the slate already promises a busy stretch of competition across the Midwest, California and beyond.
