Blue Devils Reveal 2025-26 Non-Conference Slate
8/12/2025 11:00:00 AM | Women's Basketball
DURHAM, N.C. – Riding the momentum from a stellar 2024-25 campaign that witnessed Duke women's basketball win its ninth ACC Tournament title and advance to the program's 12th Elite Eight, head coach Kara Lawson and the Blue Devils are gearing up to face one of the nation's most daunting non-conference schedules for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
The Blue Devils' schedule is comprised of 11 games with the lineup featuring four dates at Cameron Indoor Stadium, a quartet of neutral site tilts and three true road contests. Nine of Duke's 2025-26 non-conference opponents competed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament with six of them finishing in the top 50 of the NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) rankings.
After tipping off the season Nov. 3 in the City of Lights (Paris, France) against Baylor in the Oui-Play Paris 2025 event, the Blue Devils return home for matchups against Holy Cross (Nov. 9) and Norfolk State (Nov. 12) – the latter kickstarting a stretch of four games in nine days that also includes a neutral site contest against West Virginia as part of the Greenbrier Tip-Off and back-to-back road trips to Liberty (Nov. 16) and South Florida (Nov. 20), respectively.
The November gauntlet concludes with a premier multi-team event in the Players Era Women's Championship, which will take place at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada during Feast Week. The Blue Devils open the holiday event Nov. 26 against South Carolina before taking on either Texas or UCLA (Nov. 27) in game two.
Duke unwraps the month of December with a marquee interconference battle, welcoming LSU to Cameron Indoor Stadium Dec. 4 for the 2025 ACC/SEC Challenge. The Blue Devils then host South Dakota State (Dec. 18) in the return game of a home-and-home series before capping non-conference action with a trip to Nashville, Tennessee for a Dec. 20 matchup at 2025 Women's Basketball Invitational Tournament (WBIT) runner-up Belmont.
The Blue Devils return four starters and 10 letterwinners from last year's 29-8 squad, including All-ACC performers Jadyn Donovan, Toby Fournier and Ashlon Jackson, while also welcoming the nation's No. 4 freshman Emilee Skinner into the fold. Lawson, continuing to elevate Duke into a national power, enters her sixth season at the helm.
Duke's first event at Cameron Indoor Stadium in 2025-26 is Countdown to Craziness, scheduled for Friday, Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. The squad's ACC schedule has yet to be announced, but the Blue Devils are set to host nine ACC opponents at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Boston College, Florida State, Georgia Tech, NC State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, SMU, Virginia and Wake Forest. On the road, Duke faces California, Clemson, Louisville, Miami, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Stanford, Syracuse and Virginia Tech.
All remaining venue designations, tip times and TV information will be released at a later date.
