Maryland is coming off a 22-win campaign which saw the Terps reach the NCAA Tournament second round in head coach Kevin Willard's first season at the helm.
 
The season will open on Nov. 7 against Mount St. Mary's before then going to Asheville and then Villanova (Nov. 17) as part of the Gavitt Tip-Off Games. Maryland will also host UMBC (Nov. 21), South Alabama (Nov. 25), and Rider (Nov. 28) before a pair of Big Ten games to start December. Maryland will close out its non-conference slate against Alcorn State (Dec. 12) and Nicholls State (Dec. 19) before heading west to face future Big Ten foe UCLA. The non-conference schedule will conclude at home against Coppin State (Dec. 28).
 
In Big Ten play, Maryland will have home-and-away series with Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan State, Northwestern, Penn State, and Rutgers. The Terps will also host Michigan, Nebraska, and Purdue, while playing on the road at Minnesota, Ohio State, and Wisconsin.
 
A total of 21 games will be against teams who were in the 2023 postseason. Eight teams on the upcoming schedule made the NCAA Tournament highlighted by UCLA and Michigan State both reaching the Sweet Sixteen. Seven teams on the docket played in the NIT with Wisconsin reaching the semifinals and UAB narrowly falling in the championship game.
 
Dates for Big Ten games as well as tip times and television assignments will be announced at a later date.
 
Maryland returns the bulk of its top performers from 2022-23 led by All-Big Ten selection Jahmir Young as well as fifth-year senior Donta Scott and Julian Reese who will be one of the top post players in the league this season. Additionally, the Terps have brought in the No. 15 recruiting class in the country paced by DeShawn Harris-Smith, Jaime Kaiser, and Jahnathan Lamothe, while adding redshirt junior forward Jordan Geronimo who played three seasons at Indiana.
