The Big Ten Conference unveiled the conference slate on Thursday afternoon, completing Indiana women’s basketball’s 2025-26 schedule.
Indiana is on the road for the second-straight season to open Big Ten play at Illinois on Dec. 6 before jumping back into league action on Dec. 29 at home against Minnesota. The new year will ring in for the Cream and Crimson on Jan. 1 when it hosts Michigan State before they hit the road at Maryland (Jan. 4) and Nebraska (Jan. 8).
The Hoosiers welcome Iowa (Jan. 11) and Washington (Jan. 14) before a trip to Columbus to face Ohio State (Jan. 22) and the Barn Burner Trophy game against Purdue (Jan. 25). Michigan (Jan. 29) and Northwestern (Feb. 1) come to town to start the back stretch of league play.
After a visit to Madison to take on Wisconsin (Feb. 4), IU hosts Purdue in its first of two games between its protected rival on Feb. 8. This year’s trip out west will take them to Los Angeles in a series at USC (Feb. 12) and UCLA (Feb. 15).
Two of the last three games of the season are at home with Oregon (Feb. 22), its final road game at Rutgers (Feb. 25) and Senior Day celebrations against Penn State (Feb. 28). The 2026 Big Ten Women’s Basketball Championship will be held in Indianapolis at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Mar. 4-8.
