IRVING, Texas – Baylor men’s basketball announced its full schedule for the 2025-26 season on Tuesday afternoon with the Big 12 releasing all conference games for the upcoming slate.



The Bears will see 13 total teams during the 2025-26 season that made their way to the 2025 NCAA Tournament, six of those coming during the conference slate. In its second full season, Foster Pavilion will host 18 teams from across the country, including an exhibition game against Grand Canyon on Oct. 10, which will be free to the public.<https://baylorbears.com/news/2025/9/16/mens-basketball-basketball-announces-ticketing-plan-for-2025-exhibitions.aspx>



Last season, BU went an even 10-10 in conference play. The Big 12 announced the conference pairings in June,<https://baylorbears.com/news/2025/6/12/mens-basketball-big-12-announces-mbb-conference-opponents.aspx> returning to an 18-game slate for the upcoming season. BU's three home-and-home opponents are Houston, Iowa State and TCU. Its six remaining home games will come against Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, Colorado, Texas Tech and Utah, with road contests waiting at UCF, Cincinnati, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and West Virginia.



The Bears open the conference season up I-35 at TCU on Jan. 3. This will be the first time since the 2018-19 season that Baylor will open its conference slate in Fort Worth. Baylor returns home for back-to-back games at Foster Pavilion against Iowa State on Jan. 7 and reigning Big 12 Champions of Houston on Jan. 10.



The Big 12 grind continues with marquee contests, including a Friday road trip to Allen Fieldhouse to face Kansas on Jan. 16. Returning to Waco, BU hosts two in-state showdowns against Texas Tech on Jan. 20 and TCU on Saturday, Jan. 24. The Bears will take on a road tilt at Cincinnati on Jan. 28 and at West Virginia on Jan. 31 to close out the first month of conference play.



During the month of February, BU hosts four conference opponents of Colorado on Feb. 4, BYU on Feb. 10, Arizona State on Feb. 21 and Arizona on Feb. 24. Road highlights include trips to Iowa State on Feb. 7, Kansas State on Feb. 17, and UCF on Feb. 28, along with a neutral-site nonconference matchup against Louisville in Fort Worth on Feb. 14.
