Butler will play South Carolina and Virginia in the 2025 Greenbrier Tip-Off as organizers revealed the match-ups for the event.
 
Butler, South Carolina, Virginia and Northwestern comprise the event's Mountain Division.
 
The event is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 21 and Sunday, Nov. 23 inside Colonial Hall at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. Butler will face South Carolina on Nov. 21 and the Bulldogs will play Virginia Nov. 23. The Bulldogs will not face Northwestern as part of the Greenbrier Tip-Off, but will play the Wildcats later in the season in the Indy Classic.
 
All four games of the Mountain Division – which includes Northwestern also playing both Virginia and South Carolina – will be televised on CBS Sports Network, with tip times officially being announced in the coming months.
 
Butler and Virginia have met once, a 77-69 win by the No. 1 seed Cavaliers in the second round of the 2016 NCAA Tournament. The match-up between the Bulldogs and South Carolina will be the first in the series.

Butler enters the 2025-26 season off an appearance in the inaugural College Basketball Crown. Coach Thad Matta's Bulldogs have added five impact transfers in Michael Ajayi (Gonzaga), Yame Butler (Drexel), Jalen Jackson (Purdue Fort Wayne), Drayton Jones (South Carolina State), and Yohan Traore (SMU). That group joins returners Finley Bizjack, who averaged 10.3 points per game for the Bulldogs last season; Jamie Kaiser Jr., who missed the entire 2024-25 season with an ankle injury; and Evan Haywood, who started both College Basketball Crown games. Butler also welcomes a Top 25 recruiting class.
