Nebraska women's basketball has unveiled its 11‑game non‑conference schedule for the 2026‑27 season, a lineup that blends marquee matchups with regional rivalries.
A challenging opening stretch
The season opens on November 2 with a home game against San Jose State, setting the tone for a schedule that quickly escalates in difficulty.
Just a few days later the Huskers travel to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to meet Kansas in a neutral‑site contest that will test their early‑season resilience.
Back on home soil, Nebraska will host Texas A&M on December 12, a game that coaches have labeled the toughest non‑conference test of the year.
Later in the month, the team flies to San Francisco to take on California on December 20, adding a cross‑country road trip to the mix.
Off the court, the program welcomes new assistant coach Brad Fischer, a former NCAA Division III head coach who brings a fresh perspective to the staff.
All‑Big Ten First‑Team star Britt Prince returns to lead the Huskers, providing veteran leadership and a proven scoring touch.
The roster also adds four‑star freshman Ashlyn Koupal, top‑75 recruit Ava Miles and Auburn transfer Arek Angui, a 6‑9 redshirt sophomore center, bolstering depth and versatility.
Big Ten battle ahead
Nebraska's conference slate features eight home opponents that advanced to postseason play last year, and the Huskers will meet defending national champion UCLA and USC in Los Angeles before closing the regular season with a double‑play series at Iowa in Iowa City.
With a blend of experienced returnees, promising newcomers and a revamped coaching staff, the Huskers enter the season poised to make a significant impact both locally and nationally.
