IRVING, Texas – The Big 12 Conference announced the schedule matrix with home and away opponents for the upcoming 2025-26 women’s basketball season Thursday morning. Each school has a home-and-home with three other Conference opponents, and faces the other 12 opponents once, with six at home and six on the road for an 18-game Big 12 schedule.
Opponents were selected to best balance the schedule in terms of travel and competitiveness. A full Big 12 schedule will be released at a later date.
Iowa State’s three home-and-away opponents will be Cincinnati, Kansas State and Oklahoma State. The Cyclones will also host Arizona, Arizona State, Baylor, UCF, Kansas and West Virginia in Hilton Coliseum while they will only travel to BYU, Colorado, Houston, TCU, Texas Tech and Utah.
