Stanford women's basketball has finalized its non-conference schedule for the 2026-27 season as the program aims to end a two-year NCAA tournament drought. Head coach Kate Paye will lead the team through a 14-game non-conference slate featuring five home games, four road contests, and five neutral-site matchups. The schedule includes an October 24 exhibition opener against Pacific and begins official play on November 2 against Arizona in the TNT Sports Hall of Fame Series. Stanford finished the previous two seasons with identical 8-10 records in the ACC. With a 12-player roster, the team will look to build depth and cohesion during the first two months of the campaign before diving into a challenging conference schedule that includes home and road series against nine ACC opponents. A month-long gap in home games is slated between November 15 and December 17 to accommodate final exams.
