While the Rutgers Basketball program hasn’t announced their non-conference schedule just yet, here at The Knight Report we have confirmed all of the out of conference games for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
The schedule shouldn’t be too much of a surprise, as Head Coach Steve Pikiell spoke about last year’s OOC schedule this past March at the Big Ten Tournament and mentioned how he wishes he would’ve approached it differently.
With that being said, you can check out the entire 2025-26 OOC schedule below.
