The Ohio State women's hockey program has released its full slate for the 2026‑27 campaign, a schedule that promises a rigorous test from the opening weekend.
The Buckeyes will contest 34 regular‑season contests, spread across eight home series and three non‑conference matchups, ensuring a blend of familiar rivals and new challenges.
Season Opener and Key Matchups
The season kicks off on the road at Penn State on September 24‑25, setting the tone for a campaign that will also feature a rematch with Wisconsin, a home series against Colgate, and a trip to Yale.
Non‑conference play includes a home series versus Colgate on October 23‑24 and a road series at Yale on January 1‑2, while the conference slate opens with a series at St. Thomas on October 2‑3.
Notable Opponents
A highlight of the schedule is the early October series against Wisconsin, a team that reached the NCAA tournament the previous year, followed by contests with Colgate and Yale, both programs that also earned tournament berths.
These matchups not only raise the competitive bar but also give the Buckeyes early exposure to styles of play that will be encountered throughout the Big Ten season.
Fans can secure tickets for every home game beginning August 10, a date that marks the start of sales for the upcoming season.
With a demanding slate and high‑profile opponents, the Buckeyes aim to build momentum heading into the Big Ten tournament and beyond.
