Michigan basketball has a few games that are cemented in stone for the 2026-27 season, namely nonconference games against UConn, Marquette, Villanova, Duke , and the Player's Era Championship. But we haven't quite known who the Wolverines will be seeing in Big Ten play, in terms of which games are home-and-homes, home only, or road games. But on Tuesday, the Big Ten announced the conference slate for the maize and blue.
As expected, the Wolverines will play road and home against rivals Michigan State and Ohio State , and will also do so against a Minnesota team that got two former Michigan players via the transfer portal (Winters Grady and Malick Kordel). Michigan will play home games against Illinois, Iowa , Maryland, Northwestern, Oregon , Purdue, and Washington , and will play road games against Indiana, Nebraska , Penn State , Rutgers, UCLA , USC , and Wisconsin .
