Tracking the 2025-26 Non-Conference Schedule

[pschatz25]

Schools have started releasing their non-conference schedules. Northwestern's schedule usually comes out pretty late (August 7th, last year), but we can start tracking games as they're revealed. We don't know much at the moment.

Confirmed (4 games):
Nov 14 @ DePaul (series extended to 2027)
Nov 21/23 Greenbrier Tip-Off @ White Sulphur Springs, WV (Play two of Butler/South Carolina/Virginia)
Dec 20 vs. Butler (@ Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis)

Still a lot of games to fill. It would be nice to start a H&H with another P4 school (or two). And who will be in this year's slate of Q4 opponents? I'll update this post as games are announced.

I want to play duke. And I want to upset duke

Butler is definitely on the schedule now. We're playing them at Gainbridge (not Hinkle) in Indianapolis.


And Matthew Shelton posted that we're definitely playing Virginia and South Carolina at the Greenbrier, so Butler will only be on the schedule once.

This is exciting. Collins thinks we have NCAA potential too. My only critique is skipping Hinkle!

Agree about skipping Hinkle. I wonder if this game will be part of a bigger event, like in Milwaukee last year.

It is. We're the companion game to Purdue vs. Auburn.
