DALLAS – On Thursday, the Big 12 Conference announced the 18-game scheduling matrix for the 2025-26 men's basketball season. Each team will play a home-and-home with three conference opponents and play the other 12 opponents just once, either at home or on the road.
Opponents were selected to best balance the schedule for travel and competitiveness. The full schedule with dates and times will be announced at a later date.
The home and away breakdown for head coach Tommy Lloyd and the Wildcats looks like this:
Home Only: Cincinnati, Iowa State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, West Virginia
Away Only: Baylor, UCF, Colorado, Houston, TCU, Utah
Both: Arizona State, BYU, Kansas
Last year, Arizona was one of seven teams from the Big 12 to advance to the NCAA Tournament, marking the sixth straight season that at least six Big 12 teams earned a spot in the Big Dance.
In addition to the conference games listed above, Arizona has also announced the following non-conference games:
Nov. 3 vs. Florida (Las Vegas, Nev.; T-Mobile Center)
