Siena College has announced its finalized 2025-26 men's basketball schedule, featuring 31 regular-season games. The Saints will kick off their season on Monday, November 3, at MVP Arena against Bryant, the defending America East Champion and NCAA Tournament participant. This marks the earliest season opener in the program's history.
The schedule includes 13 home games, with four on Fridays and three on Sundays. Siena will face a challenging 11-game non-conference slate, including matchups against three teams that reached the postseason last year. Notably, two of these opponents participated in the NCAA Tournament. Nine of the non-conference teams had winning records last season.
In addition to the non-conference games, Siena will play a 20-game Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) schedule, split evenly between home and away games. The MAAC Championships will return to Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, from March 5-10, 2026.
The Saints will also participate in the Capital Thanksgiving Classic in Washington, D.C., facing Longwood, American, and Maine. Other key matchups include games against St. Bonaventure for the Br. Ed Coughlin Franciscan Cup and a marquee non-conference game against Indiana on December 22.
Siena's roster remains strong, with four of the top five scorers returning from last season. Head coach Gerry McNamara, in his second year, is optimistic about the team's continuity and potential. Fans can meet the team at the KeyBank Siena Basketball Sneak Preview on September 17 at MVP Arena.
More details on the schedule and ticket information are available on Siena's official website.
