July 27, 2026 | Men's Basketball
Georgia to host five 2026 NCAA Tourney teams at Stegeman
2026-27 TICKET INFORMATION
ATHENS, Ga. — Five Saturday home dates and five games at Stegeman Coliseum against 2026 NCAA Tournament teams headline the Georgia Bulldogs' 2026-27 Southeastern Conference men's basketball schedule, which was released by the league office on Monday morning.
The league announced all Saturday matchups and "Tuesday/Wednesday" designations for midweek contests. The tips times, midweek game days and television network assignments for all 18 games will be released at a later date.
The NCAA tourney teams the Bulldogs will host at Stegeman Coliseum include Texas on Jan. 5-6, Florida on Jan. 23, Vanderbilt on Feb. 9-10, Kentucky on Feb. 16-17 and Missouri on Feb. 27. Georgia's remaining home contests include Oklahoma on Jan. 12-13, Mississippi State on Jan. 16, LSU on Jan. 30 and South Carolina in the regular-season finale on March 6.
The Bulldogs open league play by traveling to Ole Miss on Saturday, Jan. 2 and also will venture to Auburn on Jan. 9, Arkansas on Jan. 19-20, Tennessee on Feb. 2-3, South Carolina on Feb. 6, Texas A&M on Feb. 13, Florida on Feb. 20, Oklahoma on Feb. 23-24 and Alabama on March 2-3.
All told, 11 of the Bulldogs' 18 SEC games will be against teams which earned bids to "March Madness" last spring. Georgia defeated three of the four SEC teams which reached last season's "Sweet 16" – Alabama, Arkansas and Texas – and lost to the fourth – Tennessee – in overtime. In addition to the NCAA tourney squads, Auburn won the NIT and Oklahoma was the runner-up in the College Basketball Crown tourney.
Georgia is entering its fifth season under head coach Mike White and has displayed consistent growth throughout his tenure. The Bulldogs upped their win total from the previous season by double digits in his first campaign, advanced to the NIT semifinals in year two and earned back-to-back NCAA bids in 2025 and 2026. White is the only coach in program history to lead teams to three-straight 20-win seasons and consecutive NCAA Tournaments and his 78 wins at UGA represent the most ever by a men's basketball coach in their first four seasons.
The 2026-27 Bulldogs have been projected as an NCAA Tournament team by various outlets. Georgia's roster will feature six returnees – including starters Blue Cain, Kanon Catchings, Marcus "Smurf" Millender and Kareem Stagg – and nine newcomers – five transfers and four freshmen.
Georgia's schedule for the upcoming season will include 18 regular-season home games – nine non-conference matchups and nine SEC dates. Information on new season tickets can be found here.
