The Georgia Bulldogs have added the Alabama A&M Bulldogs to their 2026-27 men’s basketball schedule, per a report from Rocco Miller.

Georgia will host Alabama A&M at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens, Ga., on Sunday, December 13, 2026. The 2026 meeting will be the fifth all‑time between the two programs, with Georgia holding a 4-0 advantage in the series.

Alabama A&M competes in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) in Division I. The Bulldogs finished the 2025-26 campaign 18-25 overall and 10-8 in league play.

In June, Georgia’s SEC opponents for the 2026-27 season were revealed by the conference. The Hoop Dawgs will host Florida, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Vanderbilt, while traveling to Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas A&M.

Georgia’s 2026-27 non-conference schedule has not been officially announced yet, but several opponents are known. The Bulldogs are slated to open the season at home at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens, Ga., on Monday, Nov. 2 against North Carolina Central.

Additionally, the Bulldogs will host Florida Gulf Coast on Monday, November 9, West Georgia on Wednesday, December 16, Gardner-Webb on Sunday, December 20, and North Florida on Tuesday, December 29.
