The St. John’s Red Storm’s 2025–26 season kicks off next month with high expectations for the Johnnies and head coach Rick Pitino in his third year as they look to improve upon their second-round appearance in last season’s tournament.
Fans can, of course, expect high-intensity Big East matchups against rivals UConn, Villanova, Georgetown, and Seton Hall spread across Carnesecca Arena, Madison Square Garden, and nearby tri-state venues.
But this year’s non-conference schedule raises the bar even higher. St. John’s will test itself early against national powers Alabama, Iowa State, Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Baylor. There’s also a preseason exhibition later this month against Michigan at MSG.
The Red Storm tip off the season at home versus Quinnipiac on November 3, followed by a heavyweight clash with Alabama at MSG just days later. Below is the complete exhibition and regular-season schedule, including dates, venues, and ticket links.
