Besides the 18 conference games, UD has 7 nonconference games currently scheduled at this point (per D1 Docket):

Nonconference:
11/6 - @ Wisconsin
11/22 - @ UCLA
TBD - @ Cal State Northridge (return game)
12/2 - @ Bryant
TBD - Bucknell at home (return game)
TBD - George Washington (return game)
TBD - Del State

Teams can schedule up to 32 games.
With the 18 conference and 7 non-conference above, expect to see another 6-7 non-con games announced in near future.

Pretty sure the home GW game isnt happening and our game there last year (a win for us) was a buy game. Hopefully I am wrong.

Havent seen anything about Bryant....they played here 2 years ago for the unlock the light game but I dont think it was a H/H series unless this is a new series we are starting

Bucknell sounds right as it should be a 4 game series with this being the 4th game

CSUN return game and probably why we are playing UCLA

Assuming we will see some sort of MTE event.

Last time we saw more than 1 P4 team in a season, I am pretty sure it was the pre-season NIT year where we beat UVA then played Pitt/Kansas st

Yale coming to the BOB. Solid home game for the Hens, NIT last year and NCAA previous 2 years. Schedule is starting to look pretty decent. 6 to 7 more games to see. Like to see an A10 game. Assuming one will be a non D1

Home
Yale
Bucknell
Del St

Away
Wisconsin
UCLA
CSUN

Nice having at least 2 Power Conference games on the schedule. This new group needs to be challenged early for a change in advance of conference play. Still don’t understand why we can’t get more regional schools on our schedule…Big 5, Big East, A10, ACC..just so many options. Would also love to see us reestablish a series or two with some of our historic rivals like Hofstra, Drexel, Towson, Northeastern, W&M…just to name a few. Feels like we get a little lazy year in and year out when it comes to non-conference scheduling. We always seem to see a steady diet of Bucknell, Rider, DSU, and some no-name Florida tournament. Let’s finally think just a little bit bigger. Picking up 2 additional non-conference games with the CUSA dropping to 10 teams should help…

Famous last words but I’m really feeling encouraged by the roster the staff has put together. We appear to have a nice mix of size and depth. Let’s put them to the test early in the hopes of having them ready to go come January!!!

JMU and William & Mary would be 2 nice non-conference games. Still would love to see 1 or 2 Big 5 games, as well. Schedule seems to be shaping up to be a bit stronger than we’ve seen in recent seasons. Good to challenge the guys some early before CUSA games begin. Looking forward to seeing how all the new faces come together. The 2026-27 season has the potential to be an exciting year for a change…
