Highlanders' Schedule Set for 2025-26 Season

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – The UC Riverside Highlanders will have another strong schedule in 2025-26 with 14 games to be played at the SRC Arena.

The season tips off on the road at CBU for the Crosstown Showdown, followed by a trip to Tucson to take on Arizona.

UCR's first home game of the season will be on November 14 when Saint Mary's comes to town. Then the Highlanders hit the road to Idaho, to play Idaho and Boise State before ending the month at home against Cal Lutheran.

"We're excited to release a competitive non-conference schedule built to prepare us for Big West play," said UC Riverside Head Coach Brad Langston.  "We'll test ourselves at Arizona and Utah and welcome Saint Mary's and Gonzaga to Riverside."

Big West Bold Week sees the Highlanders host both UC Irvine and Cal Poly on December 4th and 6th respectively.

UCR travels to San Diego to take on USD then head to Utah to play the Utes. The Highlanders close out the calendar year hosting Gonzaga and UC Merced.

When the new year rolls around, UCR hits the road to open the second half of the season at Hawai'i before coming back home to take on Cal State Bakersfield. Two of the final three games for the Highlanders will be at home, playing UC Santa Barbara and finishing the season against Hawai'i. 

The Big West Conference Tournament will be held at Lee's Family Forum in Henderson, Nev., from March 11-14.
