DeLand, Fla. — The ASUN Conference announced its 2026-27 men's basketball conference schedule Thursday.
The Hatters will play a 14-game conference schedule, with seven games at Insight Credit Union Arena at the Edmunds Center and seven on the road. Stetson will face each of its seven conference opponents twice during the regular season, once at home and once away.
Conference play begins Saturday, Jan. 9, when the Hatters welcome in-state rival FGCU to DeLand. Stetson will then hit the road for consecutive games at Lipscomb (Jan. 14) and Bellarmine (Jan. 16) before returning home to host Queens (Jan. 21) and West Florida (Jan. 23). Following a road contest at North Florida on Jan. 28, the Hatters close out the month with Jacksonville visiting the Edmunds Center on Jan. 30.
February opens with the second meeting of the season against FGCU on Feb. 6 before Stetson hosts Bellarmine (Feb. 11) and Lipscomb (Feb. 13). The Hatters conclude their road schedule with trips to West Florida (Feb. 18) and Queens (Feb. 20) before wrapping up the regular season with consecutive home contests against Jacksonville (Feb. 25) and North Florida (Feb. 27).
The schedule provides Stetson with an opportunity to establish momentum early, as four of the team's first seven conference games will be played at the Edmunds Center. The Hatters will also finish the regular season on their home floor, hosting Jacksonville and North Florida in the final week before postseason play begins.
The 2027 ASUN Men's Basketball Championship is set for March 4-7. The tournament opens with first-round action on March 4, followed by the quarterfinals on March 5, semifinals on March 6, and the championship game on March 7.
The Hatters return eight players from last season's squad, highlighted by All-ASUN Third Team selection
