ALBANY, N.Y. – The University at Albany men's basketball program and head coach Dwayne Killings have unveiled the Great Danes' 2026-27 season schedule.
 
Fans can look forward to a packed home slate at Broadview Center, with the Great Danes set to host 14 games throughout the 2026-27 season, the most for the program since the 2019-2020 season. Among the highlights is the return of the Albany Cup, against crosstown rival Siena on Dec. 12, marking just the third time the game will be contested in Broadview Center. The highly anticipated Capital Region rivalry will add another marquee matchup to a home schedule that also features Merrimack, Army, Dartmouth, and Columbia, giving Great Dane fans plenty of opportunities to see UAlbany compete on its home Court.
 
Additionally, season tickets for the 2026-27 campaign are now officially on sale. Season tickets for men's basketball start as low as $100 and full season ticket pricing can be found below.

"When we put this schedule together, we wanted to be intentional about the opportunities we were creating for our team," said Killings. "We wanted to challenge ourselves on the road, bring quality opponents to Broadview Center and give our fans a schedule they can be excited about. Being part of the inaugural America East–Metro Basketball Challenge, along with hosting the Albany Cup against Siena, gives us some great opportunities to compete in meaningful games while building momentum throughout the season. With 14 home games and a strong mix of non-conference and America East opponents, we're excited about what this season has in store."
