PROVO, Utah — BYU women's basketball announced the 2025-26 non-conference schedule on Wednesday morning.

“We are really looking forward to our non-conference season as it gives us a chance to grow and prepare for Big 12 play," head coach Lee Cummard said. "Our schedule has a great combination of home, neutral site and away games that will test us and give us experience that should pay dividends come conference time."

First-year head coach Lee Cummard will lead the Cougars into their third season as a member of the Big 12 conference, beginning with a non-conference slate that includes seven home games, two true road contests and three neutral-site games coming in the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Delta Center. BYU looks to improve on last year's 13-17 record in Cummard's first season at the helm.
