The California women's basketball program has announced its nonconference schedule for the 2025-26 season, including matchups against three teams that played in the 2025 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament.
 
The 13-game 2025-26 nonconference slate – featuring games against 2025 NCAA Tournament teams Harvard, Southern California and Vanderbilt – can be viewed on CalBears.com. Exact times and broadcast designations will be announced at a later date.
 
The Golden Bears will play an exhibition game against Westmont on Oct. 28 at Haas Pavilion before officially opening the season against Vanderbilt at the 2025 Oui-Play event at the Adidas Arena in Paris on Nov. 3. Cal returns home for a five-game homestand beginning with Sacramento State on Nov. 9 and includes the fifth-annual Raising The B.A.R. (Basketball, Activism, Representation) Invitational on Nov. 15 and 16 when the Bears welcome Harvard, Oakland University and UNC Charlotte. The homestretch will conclude with Saint Mary's on Nov. 20.
 
Following the homestand, Cal will round out November on the road at the 2025 Hoopfest at the Comerica Center in Frisco, Texas, to play on Nov. 24 and Nov. 26 (opponents TBD). The Bears will stay on the road to play in their second ACC/SEC Challenge by taking on Missouri at Mizzou Arena on Dec. 4.
 
Cal will then conclude nonconference play with three of four games at Haas Pavilion beginning with games against San Jose State on Dec. 7 and Idaho on Dec. 10. The Bears then take a short trip to Chase Center in San Francisco as part of the Invisalign Bay Area Women's Classic in which they will face Southern California on Dec. 21 before closing nonconference play back at Haas Pavilion on Dec. 28 against Cal Poly.
 
Cal's home and away opponents for the 2025-26 ACC season have already been released, while dates, times and television selections for those specific games will be announced at a later date.
