Oklahoma men's basketball revealed its full 2026-27 schedule on Monday.
The Sooners start their season on Nov. 2 at home against East Texas A&M to kick off a 14-game non-conference schedule that features opponents from the Big 12, Big Ten and ACC, among other leagues.
OU will then embark on an 18-game SEC schedule that once again appears to be a tough slate. The conferece will likely once again include handful of college basketball's best teams, giving Porter Moser's team a difficult path to reaching the NCAA Tournament.

Here is a look at Oklahoma's most intriguing games of the upcoming season.
Nov. 26: Purdue vs. Oklahoma (Fort Myers, FL)
The Sooners' premier non-conference game of the upcoming campaign comes less than a month into the 2026-27 season as OU meets a formidable Big Ten opponent in Purdue.
The Boilermakers reached the Elite 8 in 2026, but graduated four-year stars Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer and Trey Kaufman-Renn, as well as other key players. Purdue appears to have reloaded with players like Caden Pierce and Luke Ertel, among others, and should once again be a strong team.
Landing a win against Matt Painter and company would give Moser's team momentum early in the season and serve as an important win for Oklahoma's NCAA Tournament resume.
Dec. 12: Oklahoma State vs. Oklahoma (Paycom Center in OKC)
While the Cowboys aren't expected to be the same caliber of opponent as the other teams on this list, reigniting the Bedlam rivalry is always an important matchup for the Sooners.
OU took down OSU 85-76 in 2025, marking the team's fourth consecutive victory against the Pokes. Oklahoma State seems to have a solid roster for the 2026-27 season and should help bolster the Sooners' non-conference resume if Moser's team can leave Oklahoma City with a win.
Feb. 20: Texas at Oklahoma
After a strong close to the 2025-26 season that saw the Longhorns reach the Sweet 16, Texas has the potential to be one of the best teams in the SEC this year.
Sean Miller's squad added five-star prospect Austin Goosby from the Longhorns' 2026 recruiting class, also bringing in highly touted transfers Isaiah Johnson and David Punch while retaining standout big man Matas Vokietaitis.
This Red River Rivalry matchup in Norman gives the Sooners an opportunity to bolster their NCAA Tournament resume and conference record.
March 3: Oklahoma at Arkansas
Similar to Texas, Arkansas will likely be one of the SEC's top teams in 2026-27.
John Calipari's team brings back Billy Richmond III and adds a handful of highly regarded incoming freshman, including Jordan Smith Jr., the No. 2 overall prospect in the 2026 recruiting class.
The Sooners meet the Razorbacks in OU's final regular-season game of the 2026-27 campaign, giving Moser's team the opportunity to close the year out on a high note.
