RICHMOND, Va. –  VCU Women's Basketball has announced its 2025-26 non-conference schedule featuring 11 games against teams who played in the postseason and includes opponents from Big Ten, Big 12, SEC and Big East.

The Rams will face five teams in the non-conference that played in the postseason last year including Villanova, JMU, Colorado, Howard and UT Arlington.
VCU begins its season at home against Maryland Eastern Shore (Nov. 5). The Rams defeated the Hawks 75-60 in last year's season opener. The Rams then travel to Toronto, Canada to face Villanova (Nov. 9) in a neutral site contest. The Wildcats reached the semifinals of the WBIT last season. VCU and Villanova last played in the 2024 WBIT First Round in Philadelphia, Pa.

The Rams return home for a pair of games against Maine (Nov. 14) and Howard (Nov. 17). VCU last faced Maine twice in 2012-13, winning both games, and beat Howard in Washington, D.C. 72-48 a year ago.

The North Shore Showcase is set to host VCU in O'ahu, Hawaii on the campus of BYU-Hawaii. VCU will face SEC foe Texas A&M (Nov. 22), Colorado (Nov. 24) and UT Arlington (Nov. 25) while on the island. The Rams will face Texas A&M and Colorado for the first time in program history. UT Arlington reached the WNIT a season ago. The Rams beat the Mavericks in their lone meeting during the 2013-14 season.

VCU travels to Harrisonburg, Va. to face longtime in-state rival JMU (Dec. 7). The Dukes were a No. 1 overall seed last year in the WBIT. The Rams continue their road trip at Temple (Dec. 13) in Philadelphia, Pa. after dropping a close game to the Owls at home last year, 59-55.

The Rams host American (Dec. 16) at the Siegel Center for their last home non-conference game of the season before traveling just up the road to Henrico, Va. to face SEC member Georgia (Dec. 19) and Big Ten member Penn State (Dec. 20).
