BOONE, N.C. – App State Men's Basketball announced its 2026-27 home schedule on Thursday.
Season tickets are now on sale for both new purchases and
renewals for all 15 home games, with a renewal deadline of Oct. 9 to lock in your seats from last year. Single-game tickets will go on sale later in the fall.
The Mountaineers will host North Texas (Nov. 20), Dartmouth (Nov. 29) and East Carolina (Dec. 13) in nonconference play, in addition to nine previously announced Sun Belt Conference home contests.
App State will also welcome fans to the first open exhibition contest of the
Dustin Kerns era on Oct. 20, when the program renews its old Southern Conference rivalry with Western Carolina. The two teams have faced off 189 times in a series that dates back a century, but they have not met since 2017.
"App Nation, we need you to defend the mountain like never before," Kerns said. "The Holmes Convocation Center has become one of the toughest places to play in the Sun Belt because of your unmatched energy and passion. We have locked in an incredible home schedule, and we need every single seat filled. Don't wait until the season starts — lock in your season tickets today, bring the noise, and let's keep the Holmes Center rocking!"
New season tickets are available to Yosef Club members for $250 each. Season tickets for App State faculty and staff are available for a discounted rate of $155 by contacting the ticket office at
athletictickets@appstate.edu or 828-262-7733.
Season-long digital parking passes are available for purchase in the Holmes Convocation Center Parking Deck for $125 to season ticket holders. Parking passes will be valid for both men's and women's games.
App State is 35-8 in Boone since the start of the 2023-24 season and has won at least 10 home games in five consecutive seasons. Since Kerns took over the program in 2019, App State is 75-29 at home.
The complete 2026-27 schedule will be announced in the coming weeks, with the possibility of an additional home contest.
