The University of Mississippi’s women’s basketball program has unveiled its 2026 SEC slate, a schedule that blends tradition with fresh challenges.
A balanced home‑and‑away format
The Rebels will host eight conference rivals at the Oxford Sports Center, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas. Each of those matchups promises a lively atmosphere as fans look forward to seeing the team defend its recent success.
Traveling will take Ole Miss to Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt, where the squad will test itself against some of the league’s most competitive environments.
Season kickoff and tournament finale
The campaign opens on December 31, 2026, and will run through a full round‑robin schedule before culminating in the SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament in Greenville, South Carolina.
Head coach Yolett McPhee‑McCuin, now in her ninth year at Ole Miss, will guide the team through the demanding slate, having already steered the Rebels to five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.
The program’s recent momentum is underscored by two WNBA draft picks and four players participating in WNBA camps, highlighting the talent pipeline that will be bolstered by ten newcomers, among them transfers Talaysia Cooper and Jada Richard.
Looking ahead
With a blend of experienced leadership and promising new talent, Ole Miss aims to extend its streak of postseason success and contend for a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. The upcoming season offers a clear roadmap for growth, and fans can expect an exciting brand of basketball in Oxford.
