Basketball season is on the horizon.

The 2026-27 AUS basketball schedule was announced Thursday afternoon, with the Axemen and Axewomen set to open both the season and home schedule on Friday, October 23 against Dalhousie on Stu Aberdeen Court.

The home schedule is evenly split this year, with five games before the December holiday break and five more in the new year.

The season will also lead into a major moment for the Axewomen program, as Acadia hosts the 2027 U SPORTS Women’s Basketball Final 8 in Halifax this March at Scotiabank Centre.

Fans can find the full schedule and the most up-to-date information at acadiaathletics.ca.
