BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The Bowling Green State University men's basketball program has announced the conference portion of the 2025-26 schedule. The Falcons are set to play 18 games within the Mid-American Conference, hosting nine and traveling for nine. The non-conference portion of the 2025-26 schedule for Bowling Green as well as game times and TV designations will be announced at a later date. 

"This is a schedule that our fans should be excited to see," said head coach Todd Simon. "There's no doubt we have one of the toughest MAC schedules in recent memory. We open with the top four teams from last season along with a trip to UMass to start conference play. Our guys will be challenged with 12 games against the seven other MAC Tournament teams along with two against new member UMass. We are excited for the journey to Cleveland for the MAC Tournament."Ticket Information
