2026–27 TEAM GUIDE

Akron 2026–27 Basketball Season Guide

Read the team-specific notes below for the dates, places, events and opponents that stand out on this season's schedule.

MAC opener

Ball State opens league play at the JAR on December 2

Akron's conference calendar begins earlier than the women's slate, with Ball State visiting James A. Rhodes Arena on December 2. Bowling Green follows at home on December 19 before the main January-February run, so December should not be treated as entirely nonconference.

Rivalry map

Kent State appears twice and closes the regular season

The Zips travel to Kent State on February 13, then host the Golden Flashes on March 5 in the regular-season finale. Fans following the rivalry can use the opponent search to bring those two dates together without scanning the full MAC list.

Postseason path

Only the MAC's top eight advance to Cleveland

The official release places the MAC Men's Basketball Tournament at Rocket Arena from March 10-13 and limits the field to the top eight teams. Television assignments are expected in October, so games without a channel are genuinely pending rather than missing data.
