The University of Arkansas women's basketball program released its complete 2026‑27 schedule on Monday, outlining a 30‑game slate that blends nonconference competition with conference play.
Two of the originally slated dates have been shifted: the matchup against Arkansas‑Pine Bluff will now take place on November 12, and the home game at Little Rock has been moved to November 16.
As a result of the adjustments, the Razorbacks will contest 13 nonconference games, two fewer than the Division I maximum of 15, reflecting a strategic contraction of the external schedule.
The centerpiece of the nonconference portion is the San Diego Classic, where Arkansas will face High Point and James Madison, both of which captured automatic NCAA Tournament bids last season by winning their respective conference tournaments.

Both High Point and James Madison enter the classic with strong credentials, having secured their automatic bids through conference tournament victories, underscoring the competitive intensity of the event.
Historically, Arkansas has carried a full 15‑game nonconference slate for the past four seasons, making this year's reduced lineup a notable departure from recent precedent.
