Season Opener at St. John’s (11/3), 5 Home Games at M&T Bank Arena Highlight Schedule
HAMDEN, Conn. – The Quinnipiac Men's Basketball program has announced its non-conference schedule ahead of the 2025-26 season, as revealed by Head Coach Tom Pecora and the Bobcats on Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2025.
Quinnipiac's non-conference slate features a trip to St. John's – a consensus preseason Top 5 team – to open the season (Nov. 3), and two games over a three-day span at the end of November at Pitt (Nov. 23) and at Central Florida (Nov. 25).
The Bobcats have five home dates on the non-conference schedule in total, and will also matchup with former MAAC opponent Monmouth (Dec. 17) on the road in West Long Branch.
"We're excited to reveal our non-conference schedule ahead of the 2025-26 season," said Quinnipiac Head Coach Tom Pecora. "Our team will be challenged with several high-level opponents, starting right away with our season opener on the road at St. John's. We're also looking forward to a pair of games at the end of November at Pitt and at Central Florida."
"We're thrilled to be playing five games in front of our home crowd in Hamden, including contests against local opponents Yale and Central Connecticut. This slate of games will help prepare us well for MAAC play as we continue to compete for championships."
Following the season-opening trip to Queens, Quinnipiac will return to Hamden for a pair of home contests against in-state foes Central Connecticut (Nov. 6) and Yale (Nov. 11).
The Bobcats will then head to Maine (Nov. 16) to square off with the Black Bears for the second consecutive season, followed by another home contest against City College of New York (Nov. 19).
Next up, QU heads on its road trip to ACC foe Pittsburgh (Nov. 23) and to Big 12 opponent Central Florida (Nov. 25). The Bobcats close out the month of November at home (Nov. 30) vs. Stonehill at M&T Bank Arena.
Quinnipiac's final home game of the non-conference schedule comes against UMass Lowell (Dec. 13).
The Bobcats then head to former MAAC foe Monmouth (Dec. 17) and to Hofstra (Dec. 21) to wrap up the non-MAAC slate.
Quinnipiac won its second consecutive MAAC regular season title in 2024-25 under Head Coach Tom Pecora. The Bobcats went 15-5 in league play during 2023-24 to earn the program's first-ever regular season championship, then QU posted another 15-5 league mark in 2024-25.
