LAS VEGAS – Arizona Women's Basketball will open the 2026-27 season against Stanford in the Hall of Fame Women's Showcase on Monday, November 2, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

"We are thrilled to be opening our season as part of the Hall of Fame Women's Showcase," said head coach Becky Burke. "The opportunity to challenge ourselves right out of the gate against a quality opponent is something we're really excited about. It's also an incredible opportunity for our fan base to travel and support U of A Basketball, having both Arizona men's and women's programs competing in the same tournament. We're really looking forward to it. Bear Down Baby!"

In partnership with the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, the Opening Night showcase will feature two marquee men's matchups, with Arizona taking on UCLA and Gonzaga facing Purdue. On the women's side, Arizona and Stanford will round out the four-team slate alongside USC and UNLV.

All four games will be nationally televised across TNT Sports' networks and platforms. Additional broadcast details and game times will be announced at a later date.
