UCF men’s basketball is gearing up for the 2026-27 campaign by hitting the road for a pair of high-profile preseason exhibition contests against SEC powerhouses LSU and Kentucky.
Testing Power Four Strength Early The two-game tune-up gives the Knights an early test against elite Power Four competition before officially tipping off the regular season on Monday, Nov. 2 at home against FGCU. Navigating challenging environments like Lexington’s Rupp Arena will provide crucial live-game reps for a squad preparing to handle both a loaded non-conference slate and a grueling 18-game Big 12 schedule.
Gearing Up for Nov. 2 These SEC road trips set the stage for a 14-game non-conference slate that features nine home dates at Addition Financial Arena, three in-state battles, and two matchups against 2026 NCAA Tournament teams.
Season ticket packages and anytime ticket options are currently available for purchase online (Season tickets and anytime season tickets) or through the UCF ticket office at (407) 823-1000.
