The BIG EAST portion of Butler's men's basketball schedule features six weekend home contests, beginning with a Saturday, Dec. 13 match-up at Hinkle Fieldhouse against Providence.
The entire 2025-26 BIG EAST Conference men's basketball schedule was announced Thursday, a 110-game double round-robin slate for a sixth straight year. Game times and television information will be announced at a later date.
Â
Additional notes on Butler's 2025-26 BIG EAST schedule:
- Butler's home BIG EAST schedule includes four Saturday tips, one Friday night game, one Sunday game, two on Tuesdays and two on Wednesdays.
- Butler's BIG EAST schedule is largely balanced; the Bulldogs will only complete the home-and-home series with one conference opponent (St. John's on Jan. 6 and Jan. 28) prior to playing a BIG EAST foe for the first time (Georgetown on Jan. 31).
- Butler and Marquette play twice within a five-game stretch for the Bulldogs, with the first meeting at Hinkle Fieldhouse Friday, Jan. 23 followed by a match-up in Milwaukee Feb. 7.
