South Carolina, North Carolina Women’s Basketball Face Off Atlanta Exhibition

The North Carolina and South Carolina women's basketball teams will meet in a high-profile preseason exhibition game on October 30, 2025, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. This matchup, part of a double-header event, marks their first exhibition meeting, with the series historically tied at 11-11, although South Carolina holds recent dominance including an undefeated season and national championship run in 2024. The Tar Heels, coming off a strong 29-win season and a Sweet 16 appearance, return 10 players and have added key transfers and freshmen, aiming to challenge top programs like South Carolina early in the season. South Carolina is offering fans a travel package for the game, and both teams will use the exhibition to prepare for a competitive 2025-26 season featuring notable non-conference games and tournament appearances. Additionally, North Carolina is scheduled for a closed scrimmage against Tennessee as part of their preseason preparation. These matchups underscore the intensity and high stakes of the Carolinas rivalry and both programs' ambitions heading into the new season.
