NESN will feature two ECAC games against St. Lawrence and one ECAC game against Harvard.

Linda Cimino, the Gail Koziara Boudreaux '82 and Family Head Coach of Women's Basketball, enters her fourth season at the helm of the program. Six newcomers will join Dartmouth this season, and assistant coach Sean Ehlbeck joins the Big Green from Boston College. Last season, Dartmouth went 9-4 in non-conference games and got off to a fast start, going 8-2 over its first 10 games of the 2025-26 campaign. Both games featured on NESN are non-conference matchups for the Big Green.

Men's ice hockey is coming off one of its best seasons in program history, winning the ECAC Championship for the first time with a 2-1 overtime victory over Princeton in the championship game. As of the Oct. 12 national polls, Dartmouth is ranked 10th in both USCHO.com and USA Hockey. Dartmouth was picked second in the ECAC Preseason Poll, and Hayden Stavroff, Hank Cleaves, and Emmett Croteau were named to the All-ECAC Preseason Team. A 16-1-2 home record last season carried the team to 23 wins overall, a program record.

Men's basketball enters the season under new leadership after Brett MacConnell was named head coach in March. MacConnell joined the Stanford men's basketball staff as an assistant coach in the summer of 2025, following 12 seasons at Princeton. His staff will feature assistant coaches Nick Nichay, Amir Bell, and Eamonn Kearney, with Bill Courtey, director of basketball operations, rounding out the group. All are entering their first season with the Big Green. Dartmouth will face Stonehill for the first time in program history and will renew its rivalry with Harvard in a series that dates to 1901. Dartmouth holds an all-time record of 108-97 against Harvard.
