Conference Announces 2026‑27 Men's Basketball slate
The West Coast Conference has released its complete matchup plan for the upcoming 2026‑27 men’s basketball season, confirming a 16‑game conference schedule for each of the ten participating schools.
University of Portland will host a single game against Santa Clara and travel for a lone contest at Seattle U, each serving as the only home or away opponent for the Pilots in that series.
Denver enters the league
Denver’s addition brings the league to a full ten‑team lineup, setting the stage for a broader competitive landscape as the conference expands its footprint in the western United States.
The schedule also anticipates the arrival of UC San Diego and UC Santa Barbara in the 2027‑28 season, promising further growth and new rivalries.
Structure of the 16‑game format
Each team will engage in seven home‑and‑away series, with one opponent designated solely for home games and another for away games, ensuring a balanced distribution of contests throughout the season.
Specific dates, tip‑off times and television selections will be disclosed later, allowing schools and broadcasters to fine‑tune the presentation of each matchup.
