Virginia Tech women’s basketball head coach Megan Duffy announced the Hokies’ 2025-2026 nonconference slate Thursday morning.
The 12-game schedule includes nine contests on Carilion Clinic Court at Cassell Coliseum, a trip to nearby James Madison and two contests in the U.S. Virgin Islands against Power Four opposition.
The Hokies will begin their season playing host to the first game against Towson since 1990 on Tuesday, Nov. 4, followed by another game in Cassell against Loyola on Sunday, Nov. 9.
Three additional contests at home versus Gardner-Webb (Nov. 13), Coastal Carolina (Nov. 15) and Niagara (Nov. 20) will follow, with the games against the Chanticleers and Purple Eagles serving as the first in program history with those clubs.
Tech will then travel to nearby James Madison on Nov. 23 for an in-state matchup against the Dukes, who they have not played since a 2019 meeting in the WNIT. It will be the Hokies’ first time playing at Atlantic Union Bank Center in Harrisonburg.
The Hokies will close November with a trip Thanksgiving week to the Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands to face Brigham Young on the 27th and will have a second game in the competition on the 29th against either Oregon State or Vanderbilt.
In December, Virginia Tech will play Florida at home in the third annual ACC/SEC Challenge on the 4th. In the only other meeting at Cassell in 2013, Tech earned a 71-59 victory over the Gators. Last season, the Hokies defeated Georgia in The Challenge, the only ACC squad to go on the road and win.
To conclude the nonconference slate at the end of the fall semester, Virginia Tech will play host to Presbyterian Dec. 10 who they have not played since 2016. The Hokies will then take on ETSU on Dec. 14 on Carilion Clinic Court. In their final matchup of 2025, Tech will battle against their New River Valley neighbor Radford on Dec. 21.
The Hokies’ 18-game conference schedule, along with television networks and game times will be announced at a later date.
