Washington Unveils 2025-26 Non-Conference Men’s Basketball Schedule

Washington head coach Danny Sprinkle has officially released the Huskies’ non-conference slate for the 2025-26 season — a lineup featuring 11 games, including seven in Seattle and four on the road.

Sprinkle’s second year on Montlake tips off with an exhibition against UNLV on Oct. 19 at Alaska Airlines Arena. The Huskies stay home for their first two regular-season contests, hosting Arkansas–Pine Bluff on Nov. 3 and Denver on Nov. 6.

Washington faces its first road test on Nov. 9, traveling to Waco for a marquee showdown with Baylor. The Bears will return the favor in 2026-27, when UW hosts them at Climate Pledge Arena.

The Dawgs remain on the road the following week, visiting Washington State in Pullman on Nov. 14, before returning home to battle Southern on Nov. 18 at Hec Edmundson Pavilion.

For the second straight year, the Huskies will spend Thanksgiving in Palm Desert, defending their Acrisure Series title at the Acrisure Holiday Classic. UW opens against Nevada on Nov. 27, with a matchup against either Colorado or San Francisco on Nov. 28.

The Huskies will close non-conference play with four consecutive home games in December:

  • Southern Utah on Dec. 13
  • Seattle U at Climate Pledge Arena on Dec. 19
  • San Diego on Dec. 22
  • Utah on Dec. 29, marking a reunion with their former Pac-12 rival.
