[I]College basketball's regular season is set to expand. Barring an unexpected and extremely unlikely motion to vote against, the NCAA Division I Council will approve on Wednesday an increase from 31 to 32 games, beginning with the 2026-27 season, sources told CBS Sports. The vote is a rubber-stamp move after the Division I Men's and Women's Basketball Oversight Committees voted in favor of the change back in late March.

The update comes after a 19-year run of a 31-game maximum for the regular season. Since 2006-07, the format was 28 or 29 predetermined games, plus allowance for three-game or two-game multi-team events added in (making it a 31-game cap). Starting in 2026, teams won't be required to play 32 games, they'll merely have the option to do so — with most expected to up their quota by one under the new rule.

The increase will also push teams that make the NCAA championship game to play in as many as 41 games. [/I]
