The California women's basketball program has announced its nonconference schedule for the 2026-27 season, which includes six games away from Haas Pavilion – the team's most in nonconference play since the 2018-19 season.
 
The 13-game nonconference slate – featuring games against 2026 NCAA Tournament teams Nebraska, Gonzaga and Charleston can be viewed on CalBears.com. Remaining tipoff times and all broadcast designations along with exhibitions games will be announced at a later date.
 
The Golden Bears will open the season against former Pac-12 foe Washington State on Nov. 2. Following the season opener, Cal stays home to face Long Beach State on Nov.5 before its first road contest against the University of San Francisco in Tahoe, CA on Nov. 8.
 
The Bears then return home for a single-game homestand for their first-ever matchup against reigning CAA Tournament Champions Charleston on Nov. 12. Cal follows up with a three-game slate away from Berkeley beginning with its first game against UCSB since 2018 on Nov. 14.
