Virginia reveals basketball schedule with non-conference slate

The Virginia men’s basketball team has finalized its 2026-27 non-conference schedule, featuring a mix of high-stakes matchups and home contests. Ryan Odom selected opponents ranging from top-50 programs like UConn to mid-majors ranked outside the top 150. The Cavaliers start the season at home against Drexel on November 3, followed by games against Northeastern, Arkansas in Washington D.C., and Bucknell. The team also travels for road games against Maryland and neutral-site appearances in New York and the Bahamas. Public preseason exhibitions are slated against Vanderbilt in Charleston, South Carolina, Richmond at home, and Villanova. These matchups, combined with returning talent, are expected to provide a clear indication of the team's standing as they head into the new year.
