FARMINGTON, Utah (Aug. 4, 2025) – As the calendar creeps closer to the official start of the 2025-26 athletic season, the Big Sky Conference office has unveiled its men’s basketball conference slate for the upcoming campaign.
The Big Sky plays an 18-game double round-robin format, taking on every other conference opponent both at home and on the road.
League play will officially begin on January 1, 2026, allowing Big Sky fans to celebrate New Year’s Day with in-conference action.
Conference play will wrap up on March 2, 2026, with all 10 teams in action.
Starch Madness will return to Idaho Central Arena in Boise this March, as the Big Sky Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments will take place from March 7-11 with 18 games over the course of five days with two trophies on the line.
The third-annual Big Sky-Summit Challenge will take place on Wednesday, December 3 and Saturday, December 6. Those matchups
were announced in June.
Montana is the reigning Big Sky Tournament champion, with the Griz sharing Regular Season Champion honors with the Bears of Northern Colorado.
