They were led by head coach Anthony Grant in his ninth season with the Flyers. The Flyers played their home games at UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10).

Previous season The Flyers finished the 2024–25 season 23–11, 12–6 in A-10 play to finish in third place. They lost in the quarterfinals of the A-10 tournament to St Joseph's. They received an at-large bid to the National Invitational Tournament as the No. 1 seed in the Dayton Region where they defeated Florida Atlantic in the first round before losing to eventual NIT champion Chattanooga in the second round. Despite Dayton being the top seed in the region, both NIT games were played at opponents' campus sites due to UD Arena hosting NCAA opening round games and the Ohio High School Athletic Association boys basketball championship.
