The Notre Dame women’s basketball schedule just became a little juicier.
Defending national champion UConn announced its non-conference schedule for its 2025-26 slate on Friday morning, and it includes the Fighting Irish.

The Huskies conclude their non-conference schedule by hosting two of their most historic rivals: Notre Dame on January 19 at Gampel Pavilion and Tennessee on February 1 at PeoplesBank Arena. Per a UConn spokesperson, the Huskies and Notre Dame have extended their current series (which ended last season in South Bend) for another two years with the Huskies planning on playing at ND in 2026-27.
UConn is 39-16 all-time against Notre Dame but lost to the Irish last year on the road.
Certainly this is a marquee matchup for defending ACC player of the year Hannah Hidalgo and the Irish, as big games like this one are great for the sport.
