UConn women’s basketball released its 2025-26 schedule, revealing a 20-game Big East slate with a balanced home/road split and a schedule designed around high-profile non-conference tests. The Huskies will both travel to Xavier to open conference play on Nov. 30 and wrap the regular season at St. John’s on Mar. 1, with senior day vs Providence on Feb. 22. Home games are evenly split between Gampel Pavilion and PeoplesBank Arena, while key non-conference dates include Florida State, Notre Dame, Tennessee, and Ohio State in a packed calendar.

The season opens with exhibitions at Mohegan Sun Arena and a tune-up vs Southern Connecticut before the regular season begins Nov. 4 vs Louisville as part of the Armed Forces Classic at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Notably, First Night festivities are off due to renovations at Gampel Pavilion. UConn will face a slate of traditional Big East rivals and several large non-conference programs, with St. John’s venue TBD and Providence to be hosted in Hartford and Amica Mutual Pavilion.

In sum, UConn’s 2025-26 campaign blends international launch, repeated Big East rivalries, and a home-venue shuffle, aiming to sharpen its championship cadence after last season’s title run.
