9/18/2025 11:10:00 AM | Men's Basketball
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Murray H. Goodman '48 Lehigh men's basketball head coach Brett Reed has announced the Mountain Hawks' 2025-26 schedule. Lehigh's non-league schedule features three high-major contests, a neutral site tournament and five home games prior to the start of Patriot League play in late December.
"Our schedule once again remains competitive and is usually one of the strongest among any program in the Patriot League," said Reed. "This year is no different, and it gives us an opportunity to test ourselves against some of the nation's best. I believe that the variety of opponents, styles and situations that we will face will ultimately prepare us well for Patriot League play. Our goal is to utilize all of the experience in November and December so that we are at our best in January, February and March when the games matter most."
Lehigh opens the season on the road against national runner-up Houston on November 3 before welcoming Valley Forge on November 6 in the team's home opener. The Mountain Hawks will head back out for a pair of high-major trips — at West Virginia on November 9 and at Rutgers on November 14 — before returning home to host Saint Francis on November 18 and Columbia on November 21. Lehigh will make a trip to Marist on November 25 before participating in the Resorts World Las Vegas Classic November 28–29, a neutral-site event in Las Vegas that includes a game against UC Santa Barbara and either Seattle or Texas State.
The non-league slate continues with a December 2 trip to Binghamton, a December 6 home game vs. LIU, a December 18 home contest with Penn State Hazleton and a December 21 road trip to Monmouth.
The Mountain Hawks open Patriot League play at home on New Years Eve against the Army West Point Black Knights. Lehigh then hits the road at Bucknell on January 3. The Mountain Hawks' early league slate also includes a January 7 home date with Holy Cross, a January 10 trip to Colgate and a January 14 game at Boston University. Lehigh returns to Stabler Arena for league home games against Navy (January 17) and Loyola Maryland (January 19) before hosting Lafayette in The Rivalry on January 24. The team will travel to Army on January 28 and welcome Colgate back to Bethlehem on January 31 to round out the month.
Lehigh begins February on the road against Loyola (February 4) and at Holy Cross (February 7). The Mountain Hawks then welcome American to Stabler Arena on February 11 before concluding the season's rivalry series at Lafayette on February 14. Lehigh heads to Navy on February 18 and hosts Boston U. on February 21 before concluding the regular season slate on the road at American on February 25 and at home against Bucknell on February 28.
Single-game and season-ticket information for men's and women's basketball will be announced on LehighSports.com at a later date.
