Campbell was originally a part of the Big South Conference from 2011 through 2023 before making the switch to the CAA. It’s a new era for the program with John Andrzejek preparing for his first season as the head coach. He was previously an assistant coach under Kyle Smith at Washington State from 2019-23 and an assistant coach under Todd Golden from 2023-25. Andrzejek won the national championship with the Gators in 2024-25.
Here is how Gonzaga’s 2025-26 non-conference schedule is looking so far:
Kraziness in the Kennel (McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane) – October 4th
Oklahoma (Spokane Arena) – November 8th
Creighton (McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane) – November 11th
Alabama (Las Vegas) – November 24th
Maryland (Las Vegas) – November 25th
Players Era Festival – November 26th
Kentucky (Bridgestone Arena in Nashville) – December 5th
UCLA (Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle) – December 13th
Campbell (McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane) – December 17th
Arizona State (Desert Financial Arena in Tempe) – TBD
Baylor – Both date and location TBD
Gonzaga should have a couple more tune-up buy games in the works before or after a tougher matchup, like say Kentucky, UCLA, or even before heading off to Las Vegas for the Players Era Festival. Those are necessary for every high-major program in the country.
As for the last West Coast Conference schedule for the Zags, it opens up on Sunday, December 28th. Here are the matchups for the 18-game slate with the dates/times to be announced later:
Home: LMU, Pacific
Away: Oregon State, San Diego
Home and Away: Saint Mary’s, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Washington State, Seattle, Portland, Pepperdine
