California men's gymnastics has released its schedule for the 2026 season, which includes three meets at Haas Pavilion and a total of eight competitions under first-year head coach Bryan Del Castillo.
 
The Golden Bears will kick off their campaign at home on Jan. 9, hosting 2025 NCAA runner-up Stanford at Haas Pavilion, before traveling to The Farm for the Stanford Invitational on Jan. 24. Cal will then head east to Greenville, Illinois, for a tri-meet with Greenville and Springfield on Feb. 7, then close the month out at the Stanford International Collegiate (Feb. 28).
 
March begins with a trip to Norman, Oklahoma, on March 7 for a dual meet with the reigning MPSF Champion Sooners, followed by a return home for the Bears' Senior Day against Air Force (March 21). Cal's postseason will begin at its home gym as the Bears host the MPSF Championships for the first time since 2017, then (if qualified) will head to Champaign, Illinois, for the NCAA Championships on April 17-18.
 
This year's 20-member squad is composed of four seniors, five juniors, five sophomores and six freshmen. Two returners – senior Theodor Roald Gadderud (Norway) and sophomore Matteo Bardana (Canada) – represented their respective countries on the international stage this summer after earning a combined four medals at their national championships, while the group of veterans as a whole has collected 10 All-MPSF honors and three conference medals to date, including a vault title from two-time Regular-Season All-American Jasper Smith-Gordon.
 
At last year's NCAA Championships, Cal was the only team to record a 100 percent hit rate on its routines, advancing seven individuals to a total of eight event finals.
