Summary of the Schedule!
The Braves will head into their 2026-27 campaign with a number of great opportunities to prove themselves and build momentum ahead of Missouri Valley Conference play with five projected Quad 1-2 games. Bradley's regular season will open with a home game against Monmouth College while MVC play is slated to begin on Dec. 18 at home against the Belmont Bruins. Bradley's regular season will conclude on the road in Normal, IL, to take on Illinois State.

Non-Conference Play
BU's non-conference schedule is highlighted by five Quadrant 1 and 2 matchups made up of five of the nation's top 135 of 365 teams, featuring three true road games at Pacific, North Texas and Davidson. The Braves will face teams from three of the nation's top 10 conferences in the Atlantic 10, American and West Coast Conference, while also participating in the "Showdown in St. Pete" against Atlantic 10 power George Mason. Bradley will have weekend home games against Pacific on Nov. 7 and against Chicago State on Nov. 28 in addition to welcoming in the Green Bay Phoenix to round out non-conference play on Dec. 8.
