SAN BRUNO, Calif. – The West Coast Conference has unveiled its 2025-26 men's basketball weekly conference matchup schedule. The West Coast Conference will feature 12 programs playing 18 conference games over 10 weeks, beginning on Dec. 28.
 
The West Coast Conference has adopted a new scheduling format for men's basketball that includes conference games primarily contested on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and date flexibility with national television partners to provide more national exposure for the conference on additional days of the week. The 2025-26 schedule includes conference games on as many as five days in a given week after the first three weeks. Weekday games will be played on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays, and weekend games will be played on Saturdays or Sundays. The conference matchup schedule of weekday and weekend games includes a select number of contests that have been assigned to specific dates for national broadcast opportunities. The full schedule of game dates along with broadcast information will be announced later this fall, following the completion of national television selections with the conference's partners, ESPN and CBS Sports Network.
 
Each of the 12 programs will play seven home-and-away series with two only-home opponents and two only-away opponents to make up the 18-game schedule. Conference play is slated to begin on Sunday, Dec. 28, and will conclude on Saturday,
Feb. 28.
