DePaul University’s women’s basketball program has released its non‑conference slate for the 2026‑27 season, a schedule that blends home‑court excitement with a series of road challenges.
Opening stretch and early road tests
The Blue Demons open the campaign with a rapid three‑game stretch over six days, beginning with a home clash against Evansville on November 3, followed by a matchup with Purdue Fort Wayne on November 6 and a contest versus Stonehill on November 8, all of which will be played at Wintrust Arena.
The early homestand continues with Northern Illinois on November 11, Bradley on November 18 and IU Indy on November 21, giving the team a chance to build momentum before hitting the road.
DePaul will then travel to face Loyola Chicago on November 24 and Northwestern on November 27, before returning to the South Loop to take on Bucknell on November 29, rounding out a busy November.
Notable matchups and the season finale
The non‑conference slate also features a fourth straight meeting with Michigan State on December 13; the Spartans, who advanced to the NCAA tournament’s round of 32 last season, will test the Blue Demons in a high‑profile showdown.
The schedule wraps up with a final home game against Eastern Illinois on December 17, after which tipoff times, television designations and the full BIG EAST Conference slate will be announced.
