2025-26 Lobo Men’s Basketball Schedule Updates
The New Mexico men’s basketball program’s 2025-26 schedule is under construction. Non-conference games will be announced on this page and UNM men’s basketball social media channels when finalized. The Mountain West will announce its schedule later this fall.
2025-26 New Mexico Men’s Basketball Non-Conference Schedule (as of July 22)
OCT. 30 – Northern Arizona (exhibition) • The Pit • 7:00 pm
Lobo fans’ first chance to see the 2025-26 team will be on Oct. 30 when UNM hosts Northern Arizona for a preseason exhibition at The Pit. Due to new NCAA rules, teams can now play preseason events against Division I opponents that are open to the public. This exhibition is a ticketed event, like a regular season game. It will be included in the season ticket package, just as exhibitions against Division II opponents have been in recent years.
The Lobos and Lumberjacks haven’t met since the 2009-10 season, a 96-57 UNM win in The Pit. In conjunction with scheduling this year’s exhibition, the teams have agreed to play in the 2026-27 season opener on Nov. 10, 2026, at The Pit.
NOV. 20-21 – Hall of Fame Classic • T-Mobile Center (Kansas City, Mo.)
New Mexico joins Nebraska, Kansas State, and Mississippi State for the 2025 Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City. The Lobos will play Nebraska in Thursday’s first semifinal (6:00 pm CT/5:00 pm MT), followed by the KSU-MSU game. Thursday’s winner will play in Friday’s championship game (8:30 pm CT/7:30 pm MT), following the consolation game (6:00 pm CT/5:00 pm MT). Peacock and NBC Sports Now will broadcast all games of the tournament.
The Lobos are making their first appearance in the tournament and their first game in Kansas City since a loss to Kansas during the 2013-14 season. UNM won the only previous matchup with the Cornhuskers, a victory to open the 2009 NIT at The Pit.
