SPOKANE, Wash. – Gonzaga’s 2026-27 non-conference schedule continued to come into focus Monday, as the Bulldogs announced two more high-profile matchups ahead of the upcoming season.
The Zags will open play in the Players Era tournament against Kansas State on Tuesday, Nov. 24, at 9:30 p.m. Pacific at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The opening-round matchup is part of the expanded 16-team event, with Gonzaga guaranteed at least three games. The tournament field also includes Alabama, Baylor, Creighton, Michigan, Miami, TCU and several other major conference programs, giving the Bulldogs another opportunity to build their resume before conference play.
Later in the non-conference slate, Gonzaga will face Michigan State in a neutral-site showdown on Dec. 19 at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California.
The two additions further strengthen a non-conference schedule that will once again feature several of the nation’s top programs as Gonzaga prepares for the 2026-27 campaign.
