Conference Schedule Unveiled
The University of Iowa women's basketball program has officially released its 2026‑27 Big Ten conference slate, a 18‑game schedule that blends familiar rivals with new challenges.
Home contests will be hosted against Indiana, Maryland, Northwestern, Purdue, Rutgers, Wisconsin, UCLA and USC, giving fans a chance to see the Hawkeyes in action at the Carver‑Hawkeye Arena.
On the road, Iowa will travel to face Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State and Washington, testing the team against a diverse set of opponents.
The full slate also includes a home‑and‑home series with UConn, with the first meeting slated for Sunday, November 8 in Storrs, Connecticut, before the return matchup later in the season.
In addition, the Hawkeyes are set to meet Vanderbilt in Sioux City, Iowa, at the Tyson Events Center and Fleet Farm Arena on November 15, adding a neutral‑site showdown to the calendar.
While exact dates, tip‑off times and broadcast details will be announced in early fall, the schedule provides a clear framework for planning and highlights the team's non‑conference road trips.
The upcoming season promises competitive matchups and opportunities for the Hawkeyes to climb the conference standings, building on the program's recent successes.
