Old Dominion men’s basketball just unveiled a stacked non-conference slate for 2026-27, featuring 14 games—with 8 at home—against a mix of top-tier opponents from different leagues. Coach Mike Jones is thrilled, praising the schedule’s balance of home-court advantage, rivalry renewals, and strategic travel. The season opens with a home showdown against Western Michigan, followed by Regent, Bucknell, and crosstown clashes with Norfolk State. The Monarchs also face Longwood, Virginia, Hampton, and Virginia Tech in December, then host Drexel and Richmond for a key homestand. They’ll travel to George Mason again and close out the year with home games against The Apprentice School and Charleston Southern. The MAC-Sun Belt Challenge’s second round, set for Feb. 6, will feature a MAC opponent to be announced in January. Season tickets for both men’s and women’s teams—including the VCU exhibition—are going on sale soon. This demanding, well-structured schedule is designed to build momentum and prep for conference play.
