With just over a month until the Oregon women’s basketball team opens its season with an exhibition contest, the Ducks‘ Big Ten Conference slate was announced Thursday, Sept. 18. The Ducks’ full schedule has now been released, after the nonconference slate was announced in late August.
UO’s nonconference schedule will feature two former Pac-12 Conference foes in Washington State and Oregon State, with the latter rivalry returning to Oregon’s slate after a one-year absence. The Ducks will head to Pullman Nov. 19 and host the Beavers Dec. 3. Oregon will also notably make a return trip after it beat Auburn a year ago at Matthew Knight Arena, taking on the Tigers Nov. 30 in Alabama.

The Ducks open conference play against UCLA, which will likely be ranked in the top-5 to begin the season, Dec. 7 in Los Angeles. Conference play will resume Dec. 29 when the Ducks host Michigan for their Big Ten home opener.
Oregon will play every team in the conference like last season, including Washington twice, playing host to teams it visited last year while traveling to schools that visisted Eugene in 2024-25. The Ducks will play the Huskies in Seattle Feb. 15 and host UW for senior night March 1.
Oregon went 10-8 and finished eighth in its inagural season in the Big Ten a year ago. The Ducks earned a No. 10 seed in the NCAA Tournament and defeated No. 7 Vanderbilt in the first round before losing to No. 2 Duke to close their season.
