Atlantic 10 Tournament 2026: Bracket, scores, schedule with quarterfinal matchups set

Atlantic 10 Tournament 2026: Bracket, scores, schedule with quarterfinal matchups set

Update: There are eight teams left standing at the 2026 men’s Atlantic-10 tournament. No. 13 seed St. Bonaventure is on a Cinderella run right now, winning games in back-to-back days including an upset of No. 5 seed George Mason on Friday. The Bonnies will be joined No. 9 George Washington, No. 7 Duquesne, and No. 6 Davidson in the quarterfinals, along with the four top-seeds who all earned a bye to this point.

The Atlantic-10 is historically a multi-bid league, but last year only conference tournament champ VCU made the NCAA tournament. This year’s league has a clear powerhouse in Saint Louis that will receive an at-large bid even if it doesn’t earn the auto-bid. Can anyone upset the Billikens to get multiple A-10 teams into the big dance once again?

Saint Louis went 15-3 inside the league this year with an explosive five-out offense that shoots 41 percent from three as a team (No. 2 in DI). Senior center Robbie Avila has all the makings of a March Madness hero, but there will be plenty of teams looking to ruin the Billikens’ momentum in the conference tournament. VCU is again very good under first-year head coach Phil Martelli Jr., who has thrived after coming over from Bryant. Martelli’s father was a legendary coach at St. Joe’s, and now the Hawks are suddenly one of the hottest teams in the country entering the conference tournament on a six-game winning streak. Dayton, George Mason, and Davidson can also dream of a Cinderella run.

Here’s the full bracket for the A-10 tournament, with the schedule and results updated below after each game.

The complete NFL schedule for each team was released on Thursday night, and now we have a full picture of how things could shape up. There isn’t a lot when it comes to who “won” with their slate of games outside of favorable bye weeks, or easy opening runs to set up the season — but there are definitely a handful of teams who really got screwed over when it comes to their schedules.

These are the four teams that got an added layer of complexity added to their seasons due to scheduling.

The Cardinals will need to reconcile two opposing aims in 2026: Establishing Mike LaFleur as a winning coach, while also trying to ensure they tank the hell out of the season so they can find their quarterback of the future in the 2027 draft, because lol no, Carson Beck isn’t the answer.

It’s all well and good to say “just tank the year, and give LaFleur a season of grace,” but that’s easier said than done when you’re trying to establish a winning culture inside a locker room. The main issue is that there’s no good place on the Arizona slate where you can find them to at least grab a few wins and prove to themselves that the path is working.

An absolutely brutal run kicks the season off due to playing in the NFC West and getting a rough schedule as a result. Look at this opponent run up to the Week 14 bye: Chargers, Seahawks, 49ers, Giants, Lions, Rams, Broncos, Cowboys, Seahawks, Rams, Chiefs, Commanders, Eagles. That is just horrific for a team trying to find a way to win. I don’t know what the Cardinals did to deserve having FIVE divisional matchups before their bye.

No. 2: Los Angeles Chargers

The big thing with the Chargers’ slate is how well rested all of their opponents will be heading into their games. This chart really tells the whole story, with Los Angeles having an incredible 24 fewer days of rest over the course of the season compared to their opponents.

Not only this, but the Chargers have a bye week that falls too early in the season. They will be off Week 7, and still have the bulk of their games ahead of them. It’s especially rough when you factor in that the rest of the AFC West got fairly beneficial schedules for 2026 and that adds more difficulty for them.

No. 3: San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers’ have two international games, kicking off in Australia against the Rams, then heading to Mexico City later in the season. That would be difficult enough with irregular travel adding to the challenges of playing in the NFC West, but San Francisco also had a brutal run after their game against the Vikings in Mexico City, which comes at a critical time when they will be eyeing the playoffs.

From Week 13 until the end of the season here are their opponents in order: Seahawks, Giants, Rams, Chargers, Chiefs, Eagles, Cardinals.

The only gimme on the slate is Arizona, with so many tough games coming on the road to the playoffs. It’s incredibly easy to hit a skid, lose confidence, and limp into the playoffs at best. In addition, the 49ers have some brutal travel with their trip to Australia, as well as heading cross-country to New York and Atlanta. Overall this was just a brutal lineup of games.

This has much less to do with the fact that the Bears face the toughest strength of schedule in the NFL, and far more to do with their game scheduling. Across the 17 game regular season we see Chicago play five games in primetime, two with 4:25 p.m. ET kickoffs, and they play on both holidays. This means that over half the season sees Chicago moving around days, slots, and zones — which is really difficult when you’re trying to build routine and consistency.

Obviously, Ben Johnson is the kind of coach who can get solid performances out of his players, but there’s no doubt this is a tricky way to operate in a season with all the pressure of national games, the attention they bring, and changing up preparation from week to week. Throw that in with a tough opponent slate and it might be tricky for the Bears to have as much success this season.
