The University of Georgia women's basketball program has released its 2026‑27 slate, a schedule that blends a robust home‑court presence with a demanding road stretch.
Season Opener and Home‑Court Highlights
The campaign kicks off on November 2 with a home matchup against West Georgia, launching a stretch that will see the Lady Bulldogs host fifteen games at Stegeman Coliseum, including a much‑anticipated rivalry clash with Georgia Tech on November 18.
New Faces and Coaching Leadership
First‑year head coach Ayla Guzzardo steps into the role, bringing fresh energy to a roster that welcomes eleven newcomers, among them ACC All‑Freshman Milan Brown and Southland Conference Freshman of the Year Dakota Howard, alongside returning standout Jordana Codio.
Conference Play and Tournament Outlook
SEC competition begins on New Year’s Eve with a home game against Texas, and the Lady Bulldogs will later face Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Vanderbilt and Florida throughout the league schedule, culminating in the 2027 SEC Tournament in Greenville, South Carolina, from March 3‑7.
With a blend of experienced returnees and promising newcomers, the team aims to translate its non‑conference experiences — including a November trip to Cancun, Mexico for the Cancun Challenge — into a strong finish to the season.
