As usual, Wes Moore isn’t shy about scheduling in the non-conference, and his team’s 2026 schedule features a half dozen power-conference opponents, including multiple teams coming off NCAA tournament appearances. NC State will play two road games, and three neutral-site contests.
The full non-conference slate:
Monday, Nov. 2 vs. Wofford Wednesday, Nov. 4 vs. Campbell Sunday, Nov. 8 vs. Kentucky (Charlotte) Wednesday, Nov. 11 vs. Liberty Sunday, Nov. 15 at Seton Hall Thursday, Nov. 19 vs. Georgetown
Sunday, Nov. 22 vs. Coastal Carolina Friday, Nov. 27 at 7 p.m. vs. Kansas State (Fort Myers Tipoff) Saturday, Nov. 28 at 4:30 p.m. vs. LSU (Fort Myers Tipoff) Wednesday, Dec. 2 at Ole Miss Sunday, Dec. 6 vs. Davidson Wednesday, Dec. 9 vs. Jacksonville Sunday, Dec. 20 vs. Navy
LSU was a No. 2 seed in the NCAAs last season and finished at No. 5 in the Torvik Ratings. Kentucky was a five-seed that finished at No. 9. Mississippi was also a No. 5 seed at finished 20th in Torvik. Also in the final Torvik top 100 were Kansas State (54), Seton Hall (61), Georgetown (78), and Davidson (81). Navy, Jacksonville, and Campbell are coming off of 20+ win seasons. The Pack will once again be well-tested by the time ACC play begins.
