Duke basketball's 2026-27 nonconference schedule is complete, the school announced on Friday, Aug. 7.

The Blue Devils will officially open their fifth season under Jon Scheyer on Monday, Nov. 2 at Cameron Indoor Stadium against Army. Duke will take part in a trio of exhibitions before that, with preseason games scheduled against Belmont (Oct. 8), Tennessee (Oct. 20) and Kansas (Oct. 25).
