Stanford Basketball Releases TV Schedule and Game Times for Upcoming Season

Heading into the 2025-26 campaign, Stanford has lost some key players from last season that helped the Cardinal to their first 20+ win season in five years, all while in their first season in the ACC. These are players that could be very hard to replace.

Maxime Raynaud (Kings), Jaylen Blakes (overseas) and Oziyah Sellers (St. Johns) are all gone, with all three players central to Stanford's success last year. Raynaud, who emerged as both a top player in the ACC and in all of college basketball, was a very versatile player both on the offensive and the defensive side of the floor.

But that means that newcomers such as Kristers Skrinda and Oscar Giltay, or returners such as Aidan Cammann could get the chance to prove their worth.

But with all the talent returning to go along with a very strong recruiting class, the Cardinal will look to take full advantage of a good situation and become a nationally relevant program.

Last making an appearance in the NCAA tournament in 2014, the Cardinal's 21 win campaign last season shattered expectations. With more confidence and a year under their belt with Smith in charge, expectations are high this season.

The Cardinal will take the floor for the first time this season on Thursday, Oct. 30 when Oregon comes to town for an exhibition game. After that game, the Cardinal play their first official game of the new campaign on Tuesday, Nov. 4 when Portland State comes to Maples Pavilion. Tip-off for the Oregon exhibition contest is at 5 p.m. (PDT) while tip-off for the Portland State game will be at 7 p.m. (PST).
