The Pac-12 today announced its 2026-27 women’s basketball conference schedule, officially setting the stage for the first season of the league’s next era.
Each Pac-12 program will play a 16-game conference schedule, with the schedule designed to provide a balanced home-and-road experience throughout league play. No team will play three consecutive road games or four of five games on the road, while every program will begin and conclude conference play with one home and one road game across its first and final two contests.
With the return of Pac-12 women’s basketball, the conference is putting fans at the center of its approach, delivering unprecedented access to games across a broad national television footprint through its partnerships with CW Sports and USA Sports as well as streaming broadcasts for free on Pac-12 platforms. In total, Pac-12 women’s basketball will see 15 total regular season games broadcast nationally over-the-air on The CW and another five regular season matchups broadcast nationally on USA Network.
The combination of national television exposure and a balanced conference schedule reflects the Pac-12’s commitment to making its games more accessible to fans while showcasing the league, its student-athletes and gameday atmospheres to audiences across the country.
Tipoff times and broadcast information for all games, including non-conference home contests, will be announced at a later date ahead of the start of the season.
Conference play is set to tip off on Wednesday, Jan. 6, with the regular season continuing through Saturday, March 6. The season will culminate with the 2027 Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Tournament at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, from March 9-13.
The Pac-12 boasts a pair of teams that won their conference championships in their previous conferences in 2025-26 (Gonzaga in the West Coast Conference and Colorado State in the Mountain West Conference).
In addition to those two teams making the NCAA Tournament, Gonzaga and Colorado State as No. 12 seeds, two more teams were in the postseason, with San Diego State reaching the quarterfinals of the WBIT and Oregon State earning a WBIT berth.
