COLUMBIA — South Carolina women's basketball's schedule for the 2026-27 season is finally complete as the program released the official non-conference games .
The schedule features eight teams that were ranked in the Top 25 in ESPN's way too early preseason rankings, including four in the top 10. The Gamecocks are the No. 1 team as of April, fueled by the transfer addition of Jordan Lee from Texas and coach Dawn Staley not losing any of her returners to the portal.
In December, the Gamecocks will have a chance to avenge the national championship loss to UCLA as the two teams will meet in Las Vegas for the Player's Era Tournament. The Bruins are a much different team this season, as they lost six seniors to the WNBA.
South Carolina also has a Final Four rematch with UConn, the first meeting since it broke the Huskies undefeated streak and stopped their chances of repeating as champions. It's the first time Staley and Geno Auriemma will meet since their heated exchange to end that game.
South Carolina will begin SEC play on Dec. 31. Poll rankings will change between now and then, but the conference schedule features six more ranked teams from the early Top 25.
Staley will kick off her 19th season with the program in Paris with a game against Maryland on Nov. 2.
