Iowa women's basketball will open its 2026-27 season against Eastern Illinois at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes, coming off a deep NCAA tournament run last year, begin a new campaign under head coach Jan Jensen. Eastern Illinois visits Iowa City looking to test themselves against Big Ten competition. The game will be televised on Big Ten Network and streamed via the Fox Sports app, with tip-off scheduled for 7 p.m. CT on November 5. Iowa returns several key contributors from last season's squad that reached the Sweet 16, while integrating a highly ranked recruiting class. The Panthers, members of the Ohio Valley Conference, aim to build momentum early in their non-conference schedule.
