SEC Announces 2026 Women’s Basketball Schedule, Highlighting Lady Vols Matchups

Key transfers including Talaysia Cooper and Jaida Civil set for high‑profile games

The Southeastern Conference has released its full slate of opponents for the upcoming women's basketball season, confirming the Lady Vols' matchups across the league.

Notable Transfers Shape New Rivalries

Among the most anticipated games is Tennessee's showdown with Ole Miss, a contest that will feature former Lady Vols standouts Talaysia Cooper and Jaida Civil, now playing for the Rebels.

While the exact date, tip‑off time and television designation for that contest are still pending, the matchup promises a reunion of former teammates turned opponents.

Tennessee will also travel to face Kaniya Boyd, who transferred to Texas A&M, in a road game that adds another layer of intrigue to the schedule.

Later in the non‑conference portion, the Lady Vols are slated to meet Alyssa Latham and Lauren Hurst, both now at Virginia Tech, in the ACC/SEC Challenge on December 3.

Looking Ahead

Coach Kim Caldwell and her staff are already shaping the roster around these high‑profile transfers, aiming to blend experienced talent with the program's depth.

Yolett McPhee‑McCuin, another key figure in the Lady Vols' backcourt, is expected to play a pivotal role as the team prepares for the challenges ahead.

The full schedule, including broadcast details, will be announced in the coming weeks, giving fans a clearer picture of what to expect from the upcoming season.
