Stony Brook University's men's basketball program has unveiled its complete Colonial Athletic Association slate for the 2026‑27 campaign, confirming a 18‑game schedule that balances home and road appearances.
Season Overview
The conference slate is evenly divided, with nine games at the Island Federal Arena and nine away from home, providing a balanced test against the league's traditional powers.
Early non‑conference matchups will see the Seawolves open on New Year's Eve against Monmouth before heading to Hempstead two days later for a showdown with Hofstra.
Early Non‑Conference Tests
Those opening contests give the coaching staff a first chance to gauge the roster's chemistry before the conference grind begins, while also giving fans a chance to see the team in action before the league schedule fully unfolds.
Conference Battle Roadmap
A three‑game road swing through North Carolina will pit the Seawolves against N.C. A&T, Elon and Campbell, while a subsequent homestand brings William & Mary and Northeastern to Stony Brook.
The schedule also includes a four‑game stretch against Hampton and Drexel, and later meetings with Charleston and UNCW in the Carolinas, rounding out a demanding but varied conference slate.
Final Stretch and Championships
The regular season wraps with a home game against Northeastern on March 2, after which the team will head to Washington D.C. for the CAA Championships at CareFirst Arena from March 5 through March 9.
While the conference schedule is set, officials have noted that television considerations could lead to minor adjustments before the season tips off.
