The California women's basketball team's conference schedule for its second season in the Atlantic Coast Conference was announced by the ACC office Tuesday. Game times and broadcast designations will be released at a later time.
 
The Golden Bears' conference schedule includes seven games against teams that played in the 2025 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament highlighted by their home opener against Elite Eight participant Duke on Jan. 8 and a home matchup with Notre Dame, which advanced to the Sweet 16, on Jan. 29.
 
After opening conference play at Stanford on Dec. 14, the Bears head out for their first true conference road trip to face a pair of teams that advanced to the Sweet 16 in North Carolina on Jan. 1 and NC State on Jan. 4. Cal then returns to Haas Pavilion for its previously mentioned home opener against Duke followed by Wake Forest on Jan. 11.
 
Other notable matchups at Haas Pavilion include the Bears hosting the Cardinal in the 106th edition of the Battle of the Bay on Jan. 25 and Louisville, which advanced to the second round of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, on Feb. 1.
 
The Bears close out the conference schedule at home against Clemson on Feb. 26 and SMU on March 1. Including Cal's nonconference schedule, which was announced in July, the Bears will play a total of 10 games against teams from the 2025 NCAA Tournament (nonconference NCAA Teams are Vanderbilt, Grand Canyon, USC) and possibly 11 if they end up playing Harvard in the Raising The B.A.R. Invitational at Haas Pavilion.
 
Following the conclusion of the regular season, the ACC Tournament will take place March 4-8 at the Gas South Arena in Duluth, Georgia.
