The University of Nevada, Las Vegas women's basketball program has released its 2026‑27 non‑conference schedule, a 13‑game slate that blends home‑court marquee matchups with road tests against top‑ranked opponents.
A demanding non‑conference slate
The campaign begins with an exhibition against Cal State Los Angeles on October 27, before the official opener against USC on November 2 at the T‑Mobile Arena.
A November homestand will see the Rebels host UTSA, Arizona State, Montana State, Rice and Cincinnati over a five‑day stretch, offering an early test against teams from five different conferences.

Following the holiday break, the team travels to the East Coast for a two‑game swing, meeting UConn on December 2 and Boston on December 5.
The schedule then shifts back west, with a home game against UC Santa Barbara on December 13 before a road trip to Washington State on December 16, culminating in a final home contest against Vanguard.
Coach Lindy La Rocque, entering her seventh season, described the slate as a rigorous preparation for conference play, noting that the variety of opponents and venues will sharpen the team’s depth and resilience.
