Augusta University head men’s basketball coach Dip Metress has unveiled the 2025-26 men’s basketball schedule, featuring a total of 30 regular-season contests, including 14 home games set to take place at Christenberry Fieldhouse. The Jaguars will kick off their season at the Small College Basketball Hall of Fame Classic in Lakeland, Florida, where they will face Washburn University on November 1, followed by a matchup against Lubbock Christian on November 2.

After the Hall of Fame Classic, Augusta will participate in the 45 Second Classic in Wilson, North Carolina, taking on Mount Olive on November 14 and Barton on November 15. The team’s first home game is scheduled for November 19 against Emmanuel University. Later that month, the Jaguars will have a road contest against Fayetteville State on November 22, a home game against Converse on November 25, and a trip to Carson-Newman on November 29.

The December schedule will include a pivotal game against Paine for the first Education Day on December 2 and a Peach Belt Conference opener at home against Flagler on December 3. The Jaguars will also host Georgia Southwestern on December 6 before heading to USC Beaufort on December 10. Their final home game before the holiday break is slated for December 13 against Georgia College, concluding with a matchup against Reinhardt on December 18 and Columbus State on December 20.

As the new year begins, Augusta will face Middle Georgia State on January 3. Following this road game, the Jaguars will have back-to-back home games against Clayton State on January 7 and USC Aiken on January 14 while also playing at Lander on January 10 and North Georgia on January 21.

February’s schedule starts off with a home game against Columbus State on February 4, then leads into a road matchup at Georgia College on February 7. Subsequent games include hosting Lander on February 11, facing USC Aiken away on February 14, and a visit to Clayton State on February 18. The regular season will wrap up with three final contests, two of which will be at home against Middle Georgia State on February 21 and North Georgia on February 25.

The season will culminate with the Peach Belt Conference Tournament, which begins with quarterfinals on March 4, semifinals on March 7, and the championship final on March 8. Coach Metress acknowledged the challenges posed by the youthful composition of the team, which includes 12 freshmen and sophomores, and emphasized his commitment to maintain a strong schedule despite these challenges.

The conference schedule lays out two bye weeks on Saturdays, which means only one home Saturday game is scheduled in the second semester. Coach Metress anticipates that the structure of the schedule will lead to exciting Wednesday night games at Christenberry Fieldhouse, creating an engaging atmosphere for fans and players alike.

This schedule marks a critical opportunity for the Augusta Jaguars as they prepare to build on their skills and cohesion throughout the season. With a balanced mix of home and away games, the team aims to make a significant impact in the Peach Belt Conference and pursue a strong showing in the tournament come March.
