Yahoo Sports said on Tuesday that Grand Canyon is finalizing a deal to attend the Mountain West Conference for the 2025-26 athletic calendar.

Antelops have been a member of the Western Athletic Conference since the 2013-14 season.

Grand Canyon’s male basketball team trained by Bryas Drew, four of the last five sessions have been in the NCAA tournament.

Membership of Mountain West has evolved since five schools-Boys State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Utah State-announced that they were joining PAC-12 in 2026.

UC Davis, UTEP and Hawaii, who already compete in Mountain West in football, are ready to become a full member in July 2026. Returning members of the conference are Air Force, New Mexico, Nevada, San Jose State, UNLV and Vyoming.
