SMITHFIELD, R.I. -- The Bryant men's basketball team announced its full non-conference schedule for the upcoming 2026-27 season on Monday afternoon.

Bryant's 14-game non-conference slate includes five games vs Power 5 conference members, including in-state foe Providence, and six games against programs ranked in the top 100 of the NET.

Quick Notes

• Bryant will open the season at home, hosting 2026 Metro (formerly MAAC) Champion Siena on November 2.
• The Black and Gold face three-straight Metro opponents to open the season and five total (Siena, Quinnipiac, Fairfield, Marist, Iona).
• Bryant and Providence will square off for the first time since the 2015-16 season as the Bulldogs head to the AMP on November 10.
• The Bulldogs will also make trips to Rutgers (Big Ten), UMass (MAC), Kentucy (SEC), Fordham (A-10) and George Mason (A-10).
• Bryant's other non-conference home games include Brown, Delaware and Harvard.

The Bulldogs open their second season under head coach Jamion Christian with a November 2 showdown against Siena. It will mark the second-straight season the two programs have opened against each other. It also marks the first of three-straight Metro opponents to open the season as the Black and Gold will travel to Quinnipiac (November 5) and host Fairfield (November 8) as part of the inaugural AE-Metro Challenge. 

Bryant will then start a four-game road trip with a quick drive to Providence to face the Friars on November 10. It will be the first time Bryant and Providence have played since December 12, 2015. The Black and Gold will then head to Rutgers (November 13), UMass (November 17) and Marist (November 24). Bryant's last visit to UMass resulted in a 93-88 victory over the Minutemen on December 21, 2020.

The Black and Gold return to the Chace Athletic Center on November 29 to host former Bulldog Keyshawn Mitchell and Iona. Bryant will then face in-state rival Brown on December 4 at the Chace before traveling to Lexington to take on Kentucky (December 8). The Bulldogs will have a quick turnaround as they face Fordham two days later in the Bronx.
