The University of Kansas women's basketball program unveiled its 2026‑27 non‑conference schedule, a slate that blends home‑court familiarity with tests on the road.
The plan calls for eight regular‑season contests inside Allen Fieldhouse, four neutral‑site matchups and a single away game, giving the Jayhawks a balanced mix of environments before they enter Big 12 competition.
A coach's vision
Head coach Brandon Schneider said the schedule is designed to sharpen the team for the rigors of conference play while giving the squad a chance to build a strong résumé for the NCAA Tournament.
Among the non‑conference opponents are familiar foes such as Nebraska, as well as a step up in competition with Minnesota and South Dakota State, each promising a different style of play.
In the upcoming Big 12 season, Kansas will host Arizona, Arizona State, Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech and UCF, while traveling to face BYU, Cincinnati, Colorado, Houston, Utah and West Virginia, a lineup that promises marquee matchups across the league.
Season tickets for the 2026‑27 campaign will go on sale in August, inviting fans to secure their seats for what promises to be an intense stretch of games.
With a blend of home‑court advantage and challenging road trips, the Jayhawks hope the early schedule will translate into momentum as they chase a deep run in March.
