The Florida Gators are coming off their third national championship in school history and first under head coach Todd Golden. However, the 2025-26 Florida basketball roster will look significantly different following the departure of many key players.

The Florida Gators and head coach Todd Golden went on a magical run during the 2024-25 college basketball season. When all was said and done, they were the last team standing and defeated the Houston Cougars to win the national championship.

After leading the Gators to their first national championship in 18 years, Florida men’s basketball coach Todd Golden is close to reaching a contract extension with the program. Golden revealed Saturday that he’s been in negotiations with UF athletic director Scott Stricklin.
