Fordham University has released its complete non‑conference slate for the upcoming 2026‑27 women's basketball season, a 13‑game lineup that blends early home games with a handful of road tests against nationally recognized programs.
Early home stretch
The season opens with three consecutive home contests: a November 2 meeting with Niagara, a November 5 clash against St. Thomas Aquinas, and a November 8 showdown with Monroe, giving the Rams a chance to build momentum on their own floor.
After the opening stretch, Fordham will travel to face Bucknell in Lewisburg on November 11, then head to Manhattan for a Battle of the Bronx on November 15, before continuing on to Campbell and a much‑anticipated visit to Duke on November 19, the defending ACC champions.
Road tests and marquee matchups
The schedule then shifts back to the Bronx for two more home games, with Buffalo arriving on November 22 and Hofstra following on November 29, before the team transitions into Atlantic 10 conference play.
Final non‑conference battles
The final non‑conference road games are slated for December 8 at Delaware State and December 12 at Penn State, while the last home non‑conference opponent, Colgate, will be hosted on December 12, rounding out the pre‑conference slate.
Tickets and upcoming schedule
Season tickets for the 2026‑27 campaign are now available for purchase, and fans can look forward to a full Atlantic 10 schedule that will be announced later this fall.
Key matchup to watch
The trip to Duke stands out as the centerpiece of the non‑conference schedule, offering the Rams a chance to test themselves against a program that captured the ACC title last season and providing a early gauge of their competitiveness against top‑tier opposition.
