The University of California, Davis women's basketball program has released its nonconference schedule for the 2026‑27 season, a 14‑game slate that blends home contests with a demanding road circuit.
Home Opener and Early Schedule
The Aggies will open the season at home on November 2 at the University Credit Union Center, hosting Jessup in the first of five home games, and will follow with additional home matchups against Cal State Fullerton on November 12 and Cal Baptist on November 20.
Road games will take the team across seven states, beginning with a November 6 trip to Eastern Washington, then a November 8 visit to Stanford's campus, and continuing with contests at Boise State, Northern Colorado, Pacific, and Utah Valley later in the month.
Neutral‑Site Showdown in Reno
Neutral‑site events include participation in the Nugget Classic in Reno, Nevada, where the Aggies will meet Troy on November 27 and New Mexico State on November 29, adding a competitive edge to the early season.
Coach's Vision for the Road
Head coach Jen Gross highlighted the purpose of the schedule, stating that facing strong opponents away from home will test the team's resilience and sharpen its tactics ahead of the Mountain West Conference debut.
Looking Ahead to Conference Play
The season will culminate with a series of late‑December road games at Utah Valley and Harvard, after which the Aggies will transition into conference play, culminating in the Mountain West Championship scheduled for March 7‑10 in Las Vegas.
