ELON, N.C. – On Wednesday, Oct. 14, the Colonial Athletic Association announced its men's and women's basketball conference schedules for the upcoming 2020-21 season. The schedules will once again include 18 games, but the format has been adjusted to limit travel and help ensure the health and safety of student-athletes, coaches and staff.

In the place of a traditional, home-and-home round robin schedule, teams will play against the same opponent at the same site on consecutive days, primarily Saturdays and Sundays. The only exception will come when teams face their designated travel partner. On those weekends, each team will play once at home and once on the road, with flexibility given to create a day off in between contests.
The schedules mirror one another, with the men's and women's teams each facing the same opponent at opposite venues.

The CAA basketball regular season will tip off on Friday, Jan. 1, and will conclude on Sunday, Feb. 28. Games impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic could be made up at various alternate dates.

A tie-breaking format and broadcast schedule will also be announced in the next several weeks.

Elon women's basketball begins its conference schedule on Saturday, Jan. 2, when it hosts Northeastern at Schar Center. On the men's side, the Phoenix will open conference play by traveling to Boston, Mass. for a road matchup with the Huskies.

The full schedule with non conference opponents will be released at a later date. Elon Athletics will release 2020-2021 seating and ticketing information in the near future. 

The conference schedule for both programs is included below.
