Broncos to play two games at Idaho Central Arena; one at ExtraMile Arena

BOISE, Idaho — Boise State men's basketball announced its 2026 exhibition games on Thursday. The Broncos will play three games in preparation for the regular-season opener against West Coast Baptist on Wednesday, Nov. 4.

To begin the exhibition slate, Boise State will play in-state rival Idaho on Saturday, Oct. 10, at Idaho Central Arena. Located at 233 S. Capitol Blvd, tip off is set for 5 p.m. MT.

Last season, the Broncos and Vandals played an exhibition game at the downtown arena, with Boise State winning by six. Collectively, the team shot 48 percent from the floor, and five current Broncos played in the game.

Playing a second exhibition game in downtown Boise, the Broncos welcome Washington to town on Saturday, Oct. 17, at 7 p.m. MT. The Huskies are a familiar opponent, as the two teams have played 10 regular-season games against one another in Boise State program history.

To wrap the preseason schedule, the Broncos host NAIA Bismarck State on Thursday, Oct. 29, at ExtraMile Arena, with an official game time to be announced later. The game marks the first time the Mystics have gone head-to-head with a Division I team in either an exhibition or regular-season contest.

Tickets for the two games at Idaho Central Arena will go on sale on Sept. 10 and Sept. 15, respectively. Seating for the Oct. 29 game at ExtraMile Arena is general admission and first come, first served. Ticket purchase for the event is not required.

Season tickets for the upcoming regular season are currently on sale to the public, with single game passes available later this fall. Please visit BroncoSports.com/tickets for more information.
