Florida basketball revealed its full non-conference schedule for the 2024-25 season on Tuesday. 

Some of the notable opponents on the Gators’ schedule include South Florida which will be held in Jacksonville as part of the Jacksonville Sports Foundation Invitational on Nov. 4, a road matchup against Florida State on Nov. 15 and potential games against Minnesota, Wake Forest and Wichita State during the ESPN Events Invitational from Nov. 28-29.

There will be a few interesting non-conference matchups for Florida in the month of December. 

The Gators will take on a couple of ACC opponents in Virginia and North Carolina on Dec. 4 and 17, respectively. They are also set to face Arizona State in Atlanta for the Holiday Hoopsgiving event on Dec. 14.

And of course, Florida will be playing against its conference opponents in Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee in home-and-home matchups.

Florida’s home conference opponents will be Missouri, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Texas, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt.

Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky, LSU and Mississippi State will be the only SEC opponents played on the road for the Gators. 

Coming into his third season at Florida, head coach Todd Golden is looking to continue his success after leading the Gators to a 24-12 record that helped them secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament a season ago.
