Marquette University has released the non‑conference schedule for its women's basketball team for the 2026‑27 season, a slate that blends home‑court comforts with a handful of road tests and a memorable Thanksgiving trip to the Bahamas.
A transatlantic start
The highlight of the lineup is the Baha Mar Hoops event, where the Golden Eagles will face off against regional opponents in Nassau from November 27 through 29. While exact game times and tournament details are still pending, the prospect of playing on a Caribbean stage adds a fresh dimension to the early season.
The season opener arrives early, with Mississippi Valley State visiting the Bradley Center on November 3. Two days later, Minnesota will bring its own brand of intensity to Milwaukee, followed by a home matchup against Presbyterian on November 10.
Road trips will take the team to Missouri State on November 13, then to Madison where they will test themselves against Wisconsin on November 17. Additional away games include a stop at NJIT on November 21 before returning to Milwaukee for the final home contest of the non‑conference stretch against Milwaukee on November 23.
Late‑season home fixtures
After the early flurry, the schedule eases into a series of home games against Wagner on December 13 and Alabama A&M on December 22, providing a chance for the team to fine‑tune its rhythm before conference play begins.
