† 2026 American tournament winner As of March 22, 2026

The 2025–26 UTSA Roadrunners men's basketball team represented the University of Texas at San Antonio in the 2025–26 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Roadrunners, led by second-year head coach Austin Claunch, played their home games at Convocation Center in San Antonio, Texas as members of the American Conference.

Only the top ten conference teams qualified to participate in the 2026 American tournament.^[1] With their loss to Florida Atlantic on February 18, 2026, the Roadrunners were mathematically eliminated from making the conference tournament, and therefore eliminated from making the 2026 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.^[2]

Previous season

The Roadrunners finished the 2024–25 season 12–19, 6–12 in conference play to finish in eleventh place in their first year in the AAC. As the 11th seed in the AAC tournament, they would play and lose in the second round to 6th seed East Carolina.^[3]

The season marked the team's second year as a member of American Athletic Conference after being in Conference USA (CUSA) from 2013 to 2023.^[4]
