Arizona women’s basketball is releasing its 2026-27 nonconference schedule in individual announcements. So far, it will feature a number of neutral site and road games, including the 2026 Jacksonville Classic in Florida on Nov. 23 and Nov. 25, as announced on Friday.

The Wildcats are Jacksonville-bound for Thanksgiving week!

The full schedule for the Jacksonville Classic has not been announced yet. Last year, the event included only men’s teams and the schedule was announced on Sept. 9. The event has changed its X account from @JaxClassicMBB to @JaxClassicHoops in the interim.

The addition of the two games in Jacksonville represent a return to the Thanksgiving tournament scene after Arizona missed it last season. It also marks the addition of a third and fourth game away from McKale Center for a program that only played at home until Big 12 season last year.

Arizona will take on Stanford in Las Vegas on Nov. 2 as part of the Hall of Fame Series. The Wildcats travel to Los Angeles to play UCLA at Pauley Pavilion on Nov. 11 in the first of a home-and-home agreement. Oregon State comes to McKale Center on a date that’s yet to be announced. That game is also part of a home-and-home agreement. SEMO will face the Wildcats in Tucson on Dec. 9 in the annual Field Trip Day for local school children.
