The 2025–26 IU Indy Jaguars men's basketball team represents Indiana University Indianapolis during the 2025–26 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Jaguars, led by first-year head coach Ben Howlett, play their home games at The Jungle, with one game at Corteva Coliseum, in Indianapolis, Indiana as members of the Horizon League.

This is planned to be the Jaguars' final season at The Jungle. IU Indy plans to open the new James T. Morris Arena in time for the 2026–27 season.[1]

Previous season

The Jaguars finished the 2024–25 season 10–22, 6–14 in Horizon League play, to finish in ninth place.[2] They were defeated by Wright State in the first round of the Horizon League tournament.[3]

On May 13, 2025, head coach Paul Corsaro was fired after just one season, due to his reported treatment of his players.[4] On May 23, the school announced that they would be hiring West Liberty head coach Ben Howlett as Corsaro successor.[5]

Preseason

On October 8, 2025, the Horizon League released its preseason poll. IU Indy was picked to finish tenth in the conference.[6]
