The 2025–26 Utah Valley Wolverines men's basketball team represents Utah Valley University in the 2025–26 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Wolverines, led by third-year head coach Todd Phillips, play their home games at the UCCU Center in Orem, Utah and compete as members of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).
This will be the Wolverines' last season in the WAC. In March 2025, the Big West Conference reportedly invited Utah Valley to join their conference beginning in 2026. UVU's Big West move was officially announced on June 4.
In February 2026, due to disputes with the WAC over unpaid exit fees, the Wolverines were declared to be not in good standing with the conference, and thus were initially prohibited from participating in the conference championship (including the 2026 WAC men's basketball tournament), or having their games be broadcast. The Fourth District Court in Utah later granted the university's motion for a preliminary injunction that allowed them to play in the conference tournament. The WAC then reasserted that Utah Valley would not play in the conference tournament if they did not pay the exit fee by March 10th at 5:00 p.m. MST, a day prior to the tournament's start. It was confirmed later that day that Utah Valley would play in the conference tournament, as the WAC was assured by the Fourth District Court in Utah that the payment from Utah Valley was in process.
