With just under six weeks until Indiana women’s basketball’s 2026-27 season begins, the Hoosiers’ upcoming Big Ten schedule was released Wednesday evening on Big Ten Network’s B1G Live. The Cream and Crimson will begin their conference slate against Northwestern on Dec. 5 at Welsh-Ryan Arena in Evanston, Illinois.
The Hoosiers’ Big Ten slate includes nine contests at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington and nine games on the road.
Indiana’s nonconference schedule — which includes 11 games in Bloomington and two away from Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall — was released Aug. 24. The Hoosiers 2026 season will officially begin against Florida Gulf Coast University on Nov. 3 in Bloomington.
Indiana went 18-14 overall and 6-12 in the Big Ten last season, failing to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2017-18 season. Eight players departed the program after the 2025-26 season, giving Indiana head coach Teri Moren roster positions to fill. Moren and the Hoosiers added five players from the 2026 transfer portal and five incoming freshmen.
