WCC Announces 2026‑27 Men’s Basketball Schedule

Pepperdine to host LMU and travel to San Francisco as conference expands to ten teams next season

The West Coast Conference (WCC) has officially released the men's basketball matchups for the 2026‑27 season, outlining a 16‑game schedule that will see each of the ten participating programs face seven conference rivals twice and two rivals once.

Key matchups for Pepperdine

Pepperdine's home calendar features a single conference opponent, LMU, while the team will hit the road for a lone away game at San Francisco. In addition, the Waves will engage in home‑and‑home series with Denver, Pacific, Portland, Saint Mary's, San Diego, Santa Clara and Seattle, providing a balanced mix of familiar and new foes.

The schedule marks the final season of a ten‑team configuration, as UC Santa Barbara and UC San Diego are slated to join the league in 2027‑28, expanding the conference to twelve members. This season therefore serves as a unique transitional period for the WCC's basketball landscape.

Game dates, tip‑off times and television selections will be announced later, giving coaches and fans ample time to plan for what promises to be a competitive and geographically diverse slate of contests.
