Florida Gators Set for Another Take at Merrimack
Florida’s 2026–27 men’s basketball non-conference schedule has gained fresh clarity: on November 13, the Gators will face Merrimack in a rematch of last season’s 80–45 blowout. Florida previously defeated the Warriors 77–57 in 2023. Other early-season highlights include a November 2 clash with Miami in Tampa, an Orlando game, hosting Duke in the ACC/SEC Challenge, and a trip to Florida State. The team will also head to Las Vegas for the Players Era Festival, opening against Notre Dame and guaranteed two more matchups among teams like Houston, Kansas, and West Virginia. SEC play will feature home-and-away series with Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina, plus single games against Kentucky, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Tennessee. Dates and broadcast details remain pending.
Hold on to your foam fingers, folks! The Gators are dusting off their NCAA headbands for another “marquee” showdown with Merrimack—because nothing says high-stakes drama like punching your conference ticket by facing a team you’ve already mercilessly thrashed twice in a row. This latest scheduling gem promises all the suspense of Florida vs. Florida State—except this time, mild concern will replace existential dread. And don’t miss Florida’s cameo in Vegas, where they’ll test whether they can spin the tournament roulette wheel away from a first-round upset. Meanwhile, SEC opponents can rest easy: your ears will be ringing with the echoes of Gator victory chants as Todd Golden cackles his way through another “Players Era” prep talk. Stay tuned for tip-off times—because who doesn’t delight in planning tailgates around a TBD TV window?
