Memphis starts conference action on the road for the second-straight season with a Jan. 2 date in Boca Raton against Florida Atlantic, before returning to the Bluff City.

Matchups with North Texas (Jan. 5) and East Carolina (Jan. 11) at FedExForum start a rotation that will see two games at home, followed by two on the road the rest of the season until a finale date with USF.

The Tigers are heading to Temple (Jan. 16) for a third-consecutive season before visiting Charlotte (Jan. 19) for the first time since 2005.

Memphis will play six of its next 10 matchups at home against Wichita State (Jan. 23), defending AAC tournament champion UAB (Jan. 26), Tulsa (Feb. 5), Temple (Feb. 9), Florida Atlantic (Feb. 23) and Rice (Feb. 26).

The Tigers will open the month of February with road trips to Tulane (Jan. 30) and Rice (Feb. 2), before heading to South Florida (Feb. 13) and Wichita State (Feb. 16) two weeks later.

The final roadswing of the season for Memphis will be a quick one with only one day between games. It will play at UAB on March 2 and then at UTSA on March 4.

The 2025 American Men's Basketball Championship will be held at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, March 12-16.

The Tigers are gearing up for an exciting season under head coach Penny Hardaway , who enters his seventh season at the helm. Senior forward Nicholas Jourdain and senior guard Noah Stansbury are currently the only returning players from last season's squad that finished 22-10 overall and ranked as high as No. 10 in the Associated Press poll in January.

But Hardaway re-loaded once again with eight Division I transfers, including big men Moussa Cisse (Ole Miss) and Dain Dainja (Illinois), forward Tyreek Smith (SMU) and guards Tyrese Hunter (Texas), PJ Haggerty (Tulsa), Colby Rogers (Wichita State), Baraka Okojie (George Mason) and PJ Carter (UTSA).
