American Conference Reveals 2025-26 Women’s Basketball Schedule with New Championship Format

The 2025-26 women's college basketball season features exciting conference schedules across multiple leagues. UAB's women's basketball team, entering their third season in the American Athletic Conference, will start conference play with a challenging road game at East Carolina and host reigning champions South Florida early in January, while the American Basketball Championship introduces a new five-day format for the top 10 teams. The North Carolina Tar Heels women's team, under the leadership of Coach Banghart, will open their season against NC Central on November 3, continuing a historically dominant record against the Eagles. For men's basketball, the California Golden Bears have finalized their Atlantic Coast Conference schedule, starting November 3, with a mix of home and away games including a home opener against Cal State Bakersfield. The broader 2025-26 men's college basketball season will run from November to April, with extensive broadcast coverage on major networks such as ABC, CBS, ESPN, Fox, and subscription services, featuring marquee matchups including Texas vs. Duke and Kentucky vs. Michigan State. Local high school sports schedules also provide ongoing athletic events, although unrelated to college basketball.
