Season ticket renewals are now available for 14 games at The Palestra, a package that includes the three games the Quakers will play in the Cathedral Classic over Thanksgiving weekend. In addition to the Cathedral Classic—which this year features Penn as well as Hofstra, Merrimack, and Big 5 rival La Salle—the Quakers will play four other non-conference games at The Palestra to go with their usual seven home Ivy League matchups after the New Year.
 
The first conference game of the McCaffery era will come against the Quakers' bitter rival, Princeton, as Penn makes the short trip up to Jadwin Gym on Monday, Jan. 5. The Red and Blue are home the following Saturday to host Brown, before making the trip to the North Country to face Dartmouth and Harvard (the game with the Crimson taking place on MLK Day). Penn is back at home the next Saturday to host defending Ivy champion Yale, then closes out the month of January with the always-difficult New York road swing against Columbia and then Cornell.
 
February sees Penn playing three straight home games and five of six at The Palestra. The month begins with Princeton coming to The Palestra, followed by Columbia and then Cornell. The Quakers' only road trip of the month comes on Saturday, Feb. 21 to Yale, before they come back home to host Dartmouth and Harvard on the final days of the month. The Ivy schedule closes out on Friday, March 6 with Penn at Brown.
 
The 2026 Ivy League Tournament will take place Saturday, March 14 and Sunday, March 15 at Cornell's Newman Arena in Ithaca, N.Y.
 
Penn will open the McCaffery era on Friday, Nov. 7 when the Quakers host local Division III power Rowan University at The Palestra.
