Rankings from AP poll

The 2025–26 Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball team represents Gonzaga University in the 2025–26 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team, also unofficially nicknamed the "Zags", is led by head coach Mark Few in his 27th season as head coach, and play their home games at the McCarthey Athletic Center, located in Spokane, Washington, as members of the West Coast Conference (WCC).

This season marked the team's last season as members of the West Coast Conference as they will join the Pac-12 Conference on July 1, 2026.

Previous season

The Bulldogs finished the 2024–25 season 26–9, 14–4 in WCC play to finish in second place. As the No. 2 seed in the WCC Tournament, they defeated San Francisco and Saint Mary's to win the WCC Tournament. They received an automaic bid to the NCAA Tournament where as the No. 8 seed in the Midwest region, they defeated Georgia in the First Round before losing to Houston in the Second Round. This was the first time since 2014 that the Bulldogs failed to reach the sweet sixteen (not counting the COVID-disrupted 2019–20 season in which the NCAA tournament was not held).
