Duke Blue Devils athletic program updates

Overview

The Duke Blue Devils athletic programs have transitioned into the 2026-27 season. In women’s basketball, the team held its annual ‘Countdown to Craziness’ scrimmage at Cameron Indoor Stadium, where the White team defeated the Blue team 26-23.

In men’s basketball, the program is preparing for its season opener against Army West Point on November 2, 2026. The upcoming schedule includes nonconference games against opponents such as Michigan State, Illinois, and UConn, followed by Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) play in January. Analysts have identified the health and availability of frontcourt player Patrick Ngongba as a vital factor for the team’s success under coach Jon Scheyer.

In football, the program entered a bye week following an undefeated 4-0 start to the season, maintaining its position as one of only three undefeated teams in the ACC.
