Utah State’s men’s basketball program unveiled the nonconference slate for the 2026‑27 season, a schedule that blends home‑court comfort with a series of road tests and holiday tournaments.
The campaign kicks off with two preseason exhibitions at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, beginning with a home meeting against Denver on October 10, followed by a trip to Saint Mary’s on October 17 and a return matchup against Santa Clara on October 24.
After the exhibitions, the Aggies will open regular‑season play on November 2 against Idaho State, launching a five‑game home stand that also features contests with Omaha, Utah Tech, UC San Diego and Weber State.

The team then heads to Palm Springs for the Acrisure Series, where they will meet SMU and USC on November 25 and 26, before traveling to Albuquerque to face New Mexico on November 29.
December brings a string of home games, including a matchup against Montana on December 5, an in‑state showdown with BYU on December 9, and a series of contests at the Comerica Center in Frisco as part of the Texas Legends College Classic against Tulsa and George Washington on December 19 and 21.
The nonconference slate wraps up with victories over Pacific on December 29 and Westminster on New Year’s Eve, after which conference play in the Aggies’ inaugural Pac‑12 season will commence in early January, with a brief pause on February 20 to host Memphis.
