For the first time in eight years, the UConn women's basketball team had an undefeated regular season last year.
Matching that in 2026-27 could be a challenge for the Huskies, who announced their difficult nonconference schedule on Monday.
UConn will not only play South Carolina in a rematch of the 2026 Final Four, but will also face longtime rivals in Notre Dame and Tennessee and take on heavy hitters Michigan and LSU.
After playing in three preseason exhibitions throughout the month of October, the Huskies will open the 2026-27 season on Nov. 2 by hosting Cornell. Tip times, TV and home venue designations have yet to be announced.
Ten of UConn's 12 nonconference opponents played in the 2026 NCAA Tournament, including four of the Elite Eight participants (South Carolina, Duke, Notre Dame and Michigan). The Huskies will face Texas (which also reached the Elite Eight) in an exhibition on Oct. 19.
