PHILADELPHIA – Temple Athletics has announced game times for the 2026-27 men's and women's basketball seasons, including a shift to 6:30 p.m. for select weekday home contests at the Liacouras Center.
The adjustment from the traditional 7 p.m. start time is designed to provide greater convenience for fans and families, while also allowing Temple faculty, staff and students the opportunity to attend games following the workday. The earlier tipoff also offers a more family-friendly schedule, helping fans enjoy Temple basketball while getting home earlier.
The men's basketball team opens its season at home against Central Connecticut State on Nov. 2, while the women's basketball team hosts Navy in its home opener on Nov. 7.
Single-game tickets for both teams are on sale now at OwlsTix.com.
