JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Atlantic Sun Conference announced on Tuesday the North Florida men's basketball 18-game conference schedule ahead of the 2025-26 season.
The ASUN Conference schedule will start on Thursday, Jan. 1 and run through Saturday, Feb. 28. The 2026 ASUN Men's Basketball Championship will be held from March 4-8 with the First Round played at the campus sites of Jacksonville and North Florida prior to the Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Final at Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena.
All 12 ASUN Conference members will advance to the postseason, and it marks the first time since 2013 that the conference will hold both of its basketball postseason tournaments at the same site.
