After a 4-28 season, Air Force men’s basketball is moving on with the release of the 2025-2026 schedule including the 20-game Mountain West schedule.

Coming off a balanced league schedule last season, the Mountain West is back to an unbalanced one with 12 teams, meaning teams will be home-and-home with nine teams and have single games against two teams.

This season will see the addition of Grand Canyon University as a full member of the Mountain West Conference for its 12th team. The Antelopes were 26-8 overall and 13-3 in Western Athletic Conference play last season.

In the last year of the current Mountain West, the Falcons will face Boise State and Utah State just once, away and at home, respectively. Both schools will be leaving for the Pac-12 in the 2026-2027 academic year. 

Air Force will host the Aggies on Jan. 8 and face Boise on the road Jan. 24. Last season, the Falcons lost all four games against the two opponents – who were both top-five in the conference – by double-digits.

Not playing Utah State at home will be an advantage for Air Force, which has never beaten the Aggies on the road. 

The Falcons have 18 home games at Clune Arena this season, which is two more than last season that saw Air Force away for nearly a month.

It is notable that Mountain West game dates are subject to change after Mountain West television partners CBS Sports Network and FOX Sports make their selections.

The Falcons open Mountain West play Dec. 17 at San Diego State, and open home conference play Dec. 30 when they host Wyoming.
