The 2025-26 conference schedule for Arkansas State men’s basketball is set, as the Sun Belt Conference announced the 18-game slate on Thursday.

The docket – which features nine home and nine away contests – includes home matchups against three teams that clinched a share of the regular-season conference title alongside the Red Wolves in 2024-25. The Scarlet and Black clinched a share of the regular season crown after recording a 13-5 record in league play last season, making a second consecutive appearance in the tournament championship game.

A-State opens the conference slate at Texas State on Dec. 17 before making the trip to Southern Miss on Dec. 20. The new year begins with a three-game homestand featuring matchups versus James Madison (Jan. 3), Troy (Jan. 7), and Texas State (Jan. 10).

Four road matchups follow, starting at South Alabama (Jan. 15) and Troy (Jan. 17) before concluding at Georgia Southern (Jan. 22) and Georgia State (Jan. 24). The Red Wolves wrap up January inside First National Bank Arena, hosting Old Dominion (Jan. 28) and Marshall (Jan. 31).

February opens with a stand-alone road contest at Coastal Carolina (Feb. 4) while ULM (Feb. 11) and South Alabama (Feb. 14) travel to Jonesboro. The away slate concludes in a two-game road trip to Louisiana (Feb. 19) and ULM (Feb. 21).

A-State finishes the regular season with home matchups versus Southern Miss (Feb. 24) and Louisiana (Feb. 27). The 2026 Sun Belt Conference Tournament will be held from March 3-9 inside the Pensacola Bay Center in Pensacola, FL.
