The ACC announced the full 2025-26 conference schedule for all women’s basketball programs Tuesday afternoon. As was the case during the 2024-25 season, UNC will play 18 conference games, facing 16 teams once and rival Duke twice.
UNC will play an early conference opener, hosting Louisville at Carmichael Arena on December 14. Carolina will then play two more non-conference contests before returning to conference play at Boston College on December 29.
Notable conference games include road trips to Notre Dame (January 11), Florida State (January 18) and Virginia Tech (February 19). On the home side, three-time national champion Stanford will make its first-ever visit to Carmichael Arena on January 4.
Carolina travels to Raleigh to face NC State on February 2. The Tar Heels have not won in the Wolfpack’s Reynolds Coliseum since 2019. The Tar Heels visit Cameron Indoor Stadium to take on Duke on February 15, and the Blue Devils will make the return trip to Chapel Hill for the regular-season finale on March 1. Carolina and Duke split their two regular-season matchups last season, and Duke eliminated the Tar Heels in the round of 16 of the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
UNC’s full 2025-26 schedule has now been finalized. To view the whole schedule, click here.
