The University of Tennessee Lady Vols have published their complete 2026‑27 non‑conference and SEC schedule, giving fans a full picture of what to expect under third‑year coach Kim Caldwell.
A demanding road ahead
The non‑conference slate blends buy games with high‑profile opponents, highlighted by a road trip to face UConn in December, a home showdown against UCLA in November, and a neutral‑site contest against Baylor in Nashville. Virginia Tech also appears on the calendar, and two additional games are slated for late November as part of a multi‑team event.
When the SEC slate begins, Tennessee will travel to Texas for a road test, host South Carolina, visit Vanderbilt, and welcome LSU at home, while also playing Kentucky twice — once in Knoxville and once on the road. Each conference opponent appears at least once, ensuring a balanced slate.
The schedule reflects a deliberate mix of challenging road trips and home‑court opportunities, designed to prepare the Lady Vols for the rigors of SEC competition while also testing them against top‑tier non‑conference foes.
