2026‑27 Schedule Overview
The Southeastern Conference released its 2026‑27 women’s basketball schedule on June 16, outlining the 16 opponents each of its member schools will face and setting the stage for the upcoming season.
Ole Miss will meet Alabama twice, splitting the series with one game in Oxford and the other in Tuscaloosa, while Mississippi State will host Arkansas on back‑to‑back nights, with the second contest traveling to Fayetteville.
Both programs are slated to participate in the ACC/SEC Challenge, with Ole Miss hosting North Carolina State on Dec. 2 and Mississippi State welcoming Virginia on Dec. 3, adding high‑profile non‑conference matchups to the calendar.
The Rebels concluded the previous season tied for sixth in the SEC and earned their fifth straight NCAA Tournament appearance, whereas the Bulldogs finished twelfth and missed the tournament, underscoring the different trajectories each team hopes to reverse.
Coaches have warned that rosters will look significantly different next year, as Ole Miss returns only two players and Mississippi State brings back three, promising fresh lineups when the season opens on Dec. 31.
