The 2025–26 Bryant Bulldogs men's basketball team represents Bryant University during the 2025–26 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bulldogs, led by first-year head coach Jamion Christian, play their home games at the Chace Athletic Center in Smithfield, Rhode Island as members of the America East Conference.

Previous season

The Bulldogs finished the 2024–25 season 23–12, 14–2 in America East play to finish as America East regular-season champions.[1] They defeated UMBC,[2] Albany[3] and Maine to win the America East tournament championship.[4] As a result, they received the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 15 seed in the South region, where they would lose in the first round to No. 2 seed Michigan State.[5]

Following the season, head coach Phil Martelli Jr. left the school to accept the head coaching position at VCU.[6] On April 3, Pallacanestro Trieste head coach and former NCAA Division I head coach Jamion Christian was hired to be Bryant’s next head coach.[7]

Preseason

On October 20, 2025, the America East Conference released their preseason polls. Bryant was picked to finish sixth in the conference.[8]
