UNC Women's Basketball Unveils 2026‑27 Non‑Conference Slate
The University of North Carolina announced its full non‑conference schedule for the upcoming 2026‑27 women's basketball season, confirming nine home contests that will punctuate the regular campaign.
The season will open on the road in Europe, with the Tar Heels traveling to Paris to meet Oklahoma on November 2. The matchup marks the first time the program has begun a campaign abroad in more than a decade.
Just a week later, Carolina will return to the United States for a highly anticipated home showdown against South Carolina at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte on November 8. The game is expected to draw a large crowd and serve as an early test of both teams' preparations.
While the complete slate includes additional home dates yet to be detailed, the announced fixtures provide a clear framework for fans planning to attend games across the Triangle and beyond.
A Season Shaped by Global Exposure
The coaching staff emphasized that the international opener reflects the program's ambition to compete on a broader stage, offering players a unique competitive environment before the grind of conference play.
The schedule also underscores the continued partnership with local venues, including the Spectrum Center, which has become a staple for high‑profile women's basketball events in the region.
Tickets for the home games will go on sale shortly, and the athletic department encourages supporters to secure seats early, especially for the early‑season matchups that are expected to sell out.
