UConn women's basketball and Duke announced a three-game series starting in November 2026, with the college basketball giants releasing details about the marquee matchups this week.
The series is set to tip off in Boston's TD Garden starting November 26th, 2026, marking the first regular-season meeting between the two programs since 2022. UConn will then visit Duke in Durham during the 2027/28 NCAA season before Duke travels to Connecticut for the 2028/29 regular-season finale.
"Boston is a city that lives and breathes championship basketball," said TD Garden president and Boston Bruins EVP/COO Glen Thornborough. "Hosting these two powerhouse programs gives fans the chance to experience the very best of the women's game on one of basketball's most iconic stages."
UConn last faced Duke in the Sweet 16 of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, where the Huskies defeated the Blue Devils 53-45.
The teams rank among the winningest in women's college basketball history, with UConn tallying 1,322 victories while Duke's accumulated 1,075 — combining for a total of 2,397.
The news comes as Duke rides significant momentum into Champ Week, claiming the ACC regular-season title for the first time in 13 years this week. The Blue Devils subsequently clinched the No. 1 seed in the upcoming ACC women's basketball tournament, tipping off March 4th.
For its part, Big East regular-season champion UConn continues building an already-legendary program with high-profile non-conference scheduling.
The upcoming series gives fans more opportunities to watch elite women's basketball, with both programs consistently competing for national championships while developing future professionals.
