The Western Athletic Conference unveiled its 2025-26 men’s basketball league schedule on Wednesday, revealing an 18-game slate for Utah Valley University that includes nine home games at the UCCU Center and nine on the road.
Each WAC program will face every other league opponent three times under the conference’s unique round-robin format.
Utah Valley opens WAC play at home against California Baptist on Monday, Dec. 29–the Wolverines’ lone league game in December–before diving into the bulk of conference action in January and February.
Following the opener, UVU heads to Tarleton State (Jan. 1) and Abilene Christian (Jan. 3), then returns to the UCCU Center for a three-game homestand against Southern Utah (Jan. 8), Utah Tech (Jan. 10), and UT Arlington (Jan. 17). The Wolverines then hit the road for three straight games at Southern Utah (Jan. 21), at California Baptist (Jan. 24), and at Tarleton State (Jan. 29).
February features three home games in four outings, including Abilene Christian (Feb. 5), UT Arlington (Feb. 7), and California Baptist (Feb. 19). UVU also visits Utah Tech (Feb. 12) and UT Arlington (Feb. 21), then wraps up its home slate with Tarleton State (Feb. 26) and Abilene Christian (Feb. 28). The regular season concludes with road games at Southern Utah (March 5) and Utah Tech (March 7).
The 2026 Hercules Tires WAC Basketball Tournament will once again be held at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, March 11-14, with the winner earning the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Utah Valley is coming off a historic 2024-25 season in which it captured the outright WAC regular-season championship with a dominant 15-1 league record. The Wolverines advanced to the WAC Tournament championship game for the first time in program history and earned a berth to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). UVU has won two of the last three WAC regular-season titles (2023, 2025) and continues to solidify itself as one of the premier programs in the league.
Game times and broadcast details for the 2025-26 schedule will be announced at a later date.
