Edison, N.J. - On Thursday afternoon, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference officially announced the full conference schedule for all 13 teams in 2025-26. All teams will play 20 conference games, with an even split of 10 home and 10 away.
Each team will receive two "byes" on a regularly scheduled conference game day. In addition, everyone will have an unbalanced schedule, only playing four of the other 12 members one time. These games will have an even split of two home and two on the road.
Manhattan's non-return games will be against Merrimack and Mount St. Mary's, while the other end will be completed at home against Sacred Heart and Siena.
Opening weekend in the MAAC for the Jaspers will consist of opening inside Draddy Gymnasium against Fairfield on December 5, followed by a short road trip to Marist on December 7.
Manhattan will clash twice with cross-county rival Iona this season as usual, with the first battle taking place in New Rochelle on January 24. They will then square off again in both team's season finale, on March 1 in Riverdale.
The two byes for the Jaspers will occur on January 22 to start Week 5, with the other closing out Week 9 on February 22.
The times for conference games will be determined at a later date.
The ESPN wildcard games will be determined by the MAAC at a later date.
The men's and women's MAAC basketball tournament will once again take place at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Opening round action will begin on Thursday, March 5, and will conclude with the championship game on Tuesday, March 10.
