The Florida men’s basketball team has released its full 2025–26 season schedule, featuring a challenging mix of nonconference and SEC matchups.

Florida’s early schedule is stacked with high-profile opponents like Duke (Dec. 2), UConn (Dec. 9), and George Washington (Dec. 13) before SEC play begins in January.

The Gators will start their conference slate at home against Missouri on Jan. 3, followed by road trips to Georgia (Jan. 6) and Tennessee (Jan. 10). Their season concludes with a marquee matchup against Kentucky on March 7 in Gainesville.
