The University of Kansas women's basketball program has released its 2026‑27 non‑conference slate, a 13‑game lineup that blends early‑season exhibitions with a series of road tests against Power‑Conference opponents.
The schedule opens with two exhibition games before the regular‑season opener at home against Omaha on November 3, and eight of the contests will be played inside the iconic Allen Fieldhouse, giving fans a chance to experience the tradition in Lawrence.
Notable non‑conference events
Key road trips include a neutral‑site showdown in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where Kansas will meet Nebraska, as well as a visit to Minneapolis to take on Minnesota and a trip to Kansas City’s T‑Mobile Center for a game against South Dakota State.
A highlight of the calendar is the Cancun Challenge in Mexico, scheduled for November 26‑27, which will pit the Jayhawks against a pair of international foes in a tropical setting, adding a unique travel experience to the mix.
Overall, the slate is designed to test the team’s depth and resilience, offering a mix of regional rivalries, high‑profile Power‑Conference matchups and unique travel experiences that could prove pivotal as the season unfolds.
