Wildcats host Colorado Christian Saturday at 7 p.m. Admission is free.
OGDEN – A new era of Weber State men's basketball officially gets underway on Saturday as the Wildcats host Colorado Christian in the first of three exhibition games ahead of the 2026-27 season.
Saturday's game will tip off at 7 p.m. at the Dee Events Center.
Admission is free for all fans.
There will be no streaming and no radio broadcast for Saturday's game, but there will be live stats at WeberStateSports.com.
The game will be the first opportunity for Wildcat fans to see the new-look Weber State team under first-year head coach Kaleb Canales.
Canales was named the 11th head coach in Weber State's Division I history in April after spending last season as the associate head coach at Troy University. He brings extensive coaching experience at the collegiate and professional levels, including 18 seasons on coaching staffs in the NBA.
The Wildcats enter the season with a nearly entirely new roster. Weber State has 12 new players on this year's team, with just two players returning from last season.
ArDarius Grayson and Declan Cutler are the lone returning Wildcats from last year's team.
The 'Cats added nine players who have transferred from Division I schools. WSU has one of the youngest rosters in the nation.
Saturday's matchup with Colorado Christian is the first of three home exhibition games for the Wildcats. Weber State will also host Westminster on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 4 p.m., and Colorado Mesa on Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 6 p.m., with both games at the Dee Events Center.
Admission is free to all three exhibition games.
The Wildcats will officially open the 2026-27 regular season on Monday, Nov. 2, with a road game at Oregon State.
Weber State will play its regular-season home opener on Saturday, Nov. 7, against Utah Valley.
The Wildcats will play at Utah (Nov. 10), Utah State (Nov. 18), and BYU (Dec. 15). With those games, along with an exhibition game against Westminster and two games each against new Big Sky members Utah Tech and Southern Utah, the Wildcats will play every NCAA school in the state of Utah this season.
The 'Cats will have 15 regular-season home games, including a 10-game Big Sky schedule.
For the second-straight season, Weber State will host the Junction City Jam at the Dee Events Center. The Wildcats will play Tarleton State on Tuesday, Nov. 24, at 5 p.m. and face CSUN on Wednesday, Nov. 25, at 4 p.m., both at the Dee Events Center.
The full 20-game Big Sky schedule begins against the two new members of the league when the 'Cats play at Utah Tech on Dec. 3 and at Southern Utah on Dec. 5.
New this season, many weekday games will begin at 6 p.m., and Saturday games will be played at 4 p.m. Other games will tipoff at a variety of times. Check WeberStateSports.com and the Weber State Wildcats app for game times.
