Kentucky women’s basketball’s 2025-26 schedule is slowly coming together.
On Tuesday, the Southeastern Conference announced the entire 2026 schedule. We already knew who Kentucky was going to face in conference play during year two of the Kenny Brooks era, but now we know when those games will happen.
The Wildcats will play a total of 16 SEC games, half coming at home inside Memorial Coliseum and the other half on the road. Only one opponent, a potentially dangerous Vanderbilt squad, will appear on the schedule twice. Nearly all of Kentucky’s SEC games will be played on Thursdays or Sundays, the lone outlier being a road matchup with Texas on a Monday.
SEC action will begin with the start of the new year and wrap up on the first day of March. The 2026 SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament will be held at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC, for the ninth time. It will begin on Wednesday, March 4, and conclude with the championship game on Sunday, March 8.
Below is Kentucky women’s basketball’s SEC schedule for 2025-26. Team rankings come via ESPN’s Way-Too-Early Top 25. Going off those rankings, UK will play eight ranked SEC games this season, all of them against top 15 programs, including top-ranked South Carolina at home in the regular season finale.
Tipoff times and TV assignments will be disclosed at a later date. UK noted in its official press release that “several more” non-conference games will soon be added to the schedule, as well.
