Women’s Basketball SEC Home/Away Opponents

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina women’s basketball learned today at which location it will play each of its 16 SEC games in the 2026-27 season. Of the seven teams that joined the Gamecocks in the 2025-26 final rankings, four will come to Colonial Life Arena, including the season’s home-and-home partner Oklahoma.

The five-time reigning SEC Champion Gamecocks will host eight home SEC games with Alabama, Kentucky, LSU and Oklahoma – all top-25 finishers last season – making the trip to Columbia. Arkansas, Auburn, Florida and Texas A&M will also play in Colonial Life Arena in the 2026-27 season.

On the road, South Carolina will travel to Oklahoma along with three other teams that finished last season in the top 25 – Ole Miss, Texas and Vanderbilt – while also visiting 2026 NCAA Tournament participants Georgia and Tennessee. Mississippi State and Missouri round out the Gamecocks’ road SEC slate for 2026-27.

South Carolina has won 10 SEC regular-season titles over the last 13 seasons, including each of the last five, and has not been outside the top two in that stretch. Head coach Dawn Staley is 229-56 in SEC play with just three losses over the last five seasons, and her .800 league winning percentage is second only to Tennessee’s Pat Summitt (.874) in league history among coaches with more than five seasons in the league. Her 229 conference wins are the most among active league coaches and third all-time, trailing just Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame inductees Andy Landers (Georgia, 273) and Summitt (Tennessee, 306).

The 2026-27 SEC season will begin Thu., Dec. 31, and conclude with the SEC Tournament held at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C., March 3-7.

Dates, times and television information will be announced at a later date.
