The University of Michigan announced its complete slate of opponents for the 2026‑27 women's basketball season, confirming an 18‑game schedule that blends Big Ten competition with a marquee non‑conference showdown.
Conference play will feature 16 single‑game matchups plus one double‑header opponent, a format the league has adopted across all schools.
Home‑and‑Home Rivalry with Michigan State
Michigan’s sole home‑and‑home series will be against Michigan State, guaranteeing a pair of contests in Ann Arbor and East Lansing.
Among the home slate, the Wolverines will host traditional rivals Indiana, Iowa, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, Washington and Oregon, while traveling to face Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Purdue, Wisconsin, UCLA and USC.
A Marquee Non‑Conference Clash
The team also revealed that it will open the season at home against UConn on November 5, a game that pits two of the nation’s top programs against each other.
Ticket information shows that upper‑bowl seats for that November 5 matchup start at $26, with a purchase limit of eight per customer, and current season ticket holders can renew their seats from June 10‑24.
Fans who have not yet secured a seat can join the women's basketball ticket interest list to receive updates on availability.
