EAST LANSING, Mich. - Highlighted by games against Arkansas and Duke at the Breslin Center and neutral site contests vs. Kentucky and North Carolina, Michigan State announced its men’s basketball non-conference schedule for the 2025-26 season on Monday afternoon.
The 2025-26 home schedule is arguably the best in program history. With home non-conference games against Arkansas (Nov. 8) and Duke (Dec. 6) in addition to 10 Big Ten contests, Michigan State will host 12 power conference opponents for the first time in the Izzo Era.
The 11-game non-conference schedule includes games against five schools that played in the postseason last year (four of them in the 2025 NCAA Tournament), seven games at the Breslin Center, the Champions Classic and a trip to Florida for the Fort Myers Tip-Off.
