This spot is for all things 2025-26 Summit League non-conference schedules. If you see an announcement from a reliable source about a Summit League non-conference game, please add it here so I can update the schedule. Full disclosure, I'm pretty picky about what I consider a reliable source, so please include the source. X accounts Rocco Miller, D1 Docket, Made for March, Jon Rothstein, and Alex Rosinski are among the sources I trust.

Last year the Summit released the league schedule August 7, so we likely have a bit of a wait for that. Opponent's NET ranking is in parentheses.
