🔼 Opponents. The women’s basketball team released its SEC opponents for the 2026-27 season. The Wildcats will square off with conference foes 16 times during the regular season, which includes eight home games and eight away games. For the third straight season, the Cats will meet just one conference foe for a home-and-away game, a change made after the addition of the Longhorns and the Sooners to the league. Remaining details about the nonconference and conference schedule will be released soon.
