IRVING, Texas — The American Conference announced the league schedule pairings for the upcoming men's and women's 2025-26 basketball season on Wednesday afternoon.
The UNT men's basketball team's 2025-26 American schedule features a home contest against reigning league champion Memphis. It will be the first time UNT has hosted the Tigers in two seasons when it beat them 76-66 on Feb. 15, 2024, at the Super Pit.
The Mean Green will also get home conference games against East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Rice, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, USF and UTSA. Since joining the conference in 2024, the Mean Green men's basketball team is 10-5 at home against their nine upcoming home conference opponents.
They will also go on the road during its conference slate to Memphis, Rice, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB and UTSA. UNT men's basketball team will not host Charlotte, Temple or Wichita State this coming season and will only face those three opponents on the road.
The Mean Green men's basketball team is under the leadership of new head coach Daniyal Robinson who was hired on April 4 after three consecutive 20-win seasons at the helm of Cleveland State.
On the women's side, UNT's pairings are highlighted by home games with UTSA, the reigning regular season champion, and South Florida, the American tournament champion last season.
The Mean Green will also welcome East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Memphis, Rice, Tulane, Tulsa and UAB to The Super Pit during the conference slate. Under Jason Burton, North Texas has a 16-2 mark at home against American schools, which included a perfect 9-0 record last season.
UNT will have road games at Florida Atlantic, Rice, South Florida, Tulane, UAB and UTSA as part of its home and away pairings for this season. Away contests at Charlotte, Temple and Wichita State will be the only time the Mean Green see those opponents during the regular season.
The Mean Green are coming off the winningest season in program history, recording a 25-9 mark in the 2024-25 season. Burton's team will feature 11 newcomers as it looks to replicate the success of the Mean Green's first two seasons in the American that resulted in a conference title in 2024 and a second-place finish in the league in 2025.
The complete 2025-26 American basketball composite schedule with dates and times will be announced at a later date.
