Purdue Basketball 2026-27 Big Ten Schedule Announced

A particularly demanding stretch of the schedule occurs at the end of the season. From February 12 to March 5, Purdue faces a tough series of opponents. It begins with a home game against Illinois, a Final Four contender last season, on February 12. The Boilermakers then travel to Bloomington to face in-state rival Indiana on February 16, where they have lost their last two encounters. Following a home game against UCLA on February 21, Purdue heads to the West Coast for games against Oregon on February 24 and Washington on February 27. The regular season concludes at home against Indiana on March 5. A slight reprieve occurs with a six-day break before the Illinois game and another week off following the games in Oregon and Washington before their finale against IU.

In early January, Purdue will confront a challenging two-game stretch on the road against teams that reached the Final Four last year. The Boilermakers play at Illinois on January 5 and then at Michigan, the eventual national champion, on January 8. This sequence is particularly formidable as both teams are expected to remain competitive in the Big Ten.

Furthermore, Purdue's toughest games are predominantly scheduled away from home. While they will host Indiana and Illinois, the Boilermakers will also need to face Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, and Indiana on the road.
