MADISON, Wis. — The Big Ten Conference announced its 2026-27 women's basketball schedule Wednesday, setting the conference slate for Robin Pingeton and the Badgers as they enter her second season at the helm.

The Badgers open Big Ten play on Dec. 5, hosting Illinois at the Kohl Center. Nine conference games will be played at home, including matchups against Illinois, USC, Ohio State, Northwestern, Rutgers, Maryland, Minnesota, UCLA and Michigan.
The conference slate features road trips to Washington, Oregon, Purdue, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Nebraska, Michigan State and Penn State.
