Bryant kicks off the 2027 America East men’s basketball season at home against Maine, continuing a trend of strong home openers, before hitting the road for three of their first five conference games. They’ll face UMBC — the defending champs — on Jan. 14 in a rematch of last year’s nail-biting overtime win. With a unique schedule lacking any Thursday-Saturday home series and a tough February stretch featuring back-to-back games against UMBC and Vermont, Bryant finishes the regular season hosting New Hampshire on March 2 — setting up an intriguing conference race.

Bryant’s 2026-27 non-conference schedule is a brutal gauntlet—14 games, five against Power Five foes including in-state rival Providence, and six opponents ranked in the top 100 of the NET. They open at home vs. Siena (last year’s conference champ), face three straight Metro matchups, then hit the road for tough games at Rutgers, UMass, Kentucky, Fordham, and George Mason—all before conference play even begins. Back home, they’ll host Brown, Delaware, and Harvard, turning their arena into a fortress for local bragging rights. This isn’t just a test—it’s a statement: Bryant’s ready to compete with the best from day one.
