No. 1 Florida hosted Stetson in its final preseason exhibition before opening the 2026–27 season against No. 14 Miami. The matchup gave the Gators a last tune-up after an overtime loss to Baylor, where they struggled from 3-point range; coach Todd Golden said the team needed to improve before facing Miami. Stetson, coached by former Florida assistant Donnie Jones, entered after a 12–21 season and was led by returning All-Atlantic Sun player Collin Kuhl. Florida had won its previous 20 meetings with Stetson.
