The FULL MVC Conference schedule was announced by Bradley on September 26, 2025.
The date on the release is 9/26/25
If it was any other date take it up with the guys at BU.

While we await the conference schedule....

I'm puzzled why the Bradley Women's schedule has listed the preseason Red-White Showcase (note that it is NOT noted as
a SCRIMMAGE, so maybe there's not going to be any actual intrasquad basketball played) as Oct. 17- since late August - and yet there's been no mention at all that the Men's team is participating on that date or on any other date.
Anyone know what's going on with that?

And teams are now allowed three preseason scrimmages or games, so I still suspect Bradley may have a closed scrimmage as they have done in past years.

Meanwhile, the online Bradley schedule doesn't list the times for a single one of the games, even though some of the times,
like the games in St. Pete and a couple others like the Monmouth game and the Loras game where THEY list the times as 7pm. -
and those have been clearly established for a month.

I would hate for them to have a closed scrimmage because the fans want to see all the new players they have in as many games that they can before the season.
 
ISU just released its full schedule. ISU @ BU on Sunday, January 24. BU @ ISU on Saturday, February 27. Hopefully one of the 2 will be an afternoon game so those of us Chicago alums can drive down for it.

And will someone let BU's SID know that they post it?

Bradley's schedule as listed on the Athletic website does not list the start times for the home games, but now
TicketMaster does list several of the start times...(I am not guaranteeing accuracy but it's what TicketMaster says)
The SIUE Exhibition, and games vs Monmouth, Pacific, IPFW, Loras & Green Bay are all stated as 7pm start
LINK
*************************
StubHub also lists the Drake home game on 1/16/2027 as a 1pm start (MLK Day) and also lists the Evansville game
at the Civic Center on 1/21 2027 as 1pm start and the Bradley game AT Illinois State on Feb 27 as a 1pm start time.

assuming those are all accurate-

Another small piece of the 2026-27 schedule has apparently become available...
The Saint Louis ticket site now selling individual tickets lists the Oct. 23 Bradley exhibition game there as a 7:00pm start.
This is not their official schedule but I'd have to think it is accurate.

- October 7, 2026, Wednesday - Itoo Spaghetti Supper - doors open 5:30pm, dinner 6pm
- October 23, 2026, Friday 7pm - Preseason Exhibition game at Saint Louis
- November 12, 2026, Thursday - vs Coppin State in the Showdown in St. Pete- 6pm Eastern, 5pm Central
- November 14, 2026, Saturday - vs George Mason in the Showdown in St. Pete- 11am Eastern, 10am Central
- Home non-conference game vs Green Bay
- @ NIU
- @ Washington State ?
- November 28, 2026, Saturday - Home Game vs Chicago State
- December 4, 2026, Friday - @ North Texas
- 20-game MVC home-and-home schedule
- March 4-7, 2027 - 2027 MVC Tourney
