PENSACOLA, Fla. – The University of West Florida has released its 2026-27 women's basketball schedule, including a road game at Florida State and a spot in the Big Easy Classic in late November. The season also marks several firsts for Argonaut Basketball, including a new offering of season tickets and enhanced fan experiences inside the UWF Field House as the University prepares for its first year of NCAA Division I competition. 

"From introducing season tickets to enhancing the game-day experience inside the Field House, this season represents an exciting new chapter for UWF in DI Athletics," said UWF Athletic Director Dave Scott. "We are creating an environment that reflects the momentum of the University and UWF Athletics and giving our fans even more reason to be a part of Argo Basketball."

Fans can expect an enhanced game-day atmosphere this season with several new additions inside the UWF Field House, including courtside seating, new LED scorer's tables featuring dynamic visual displays on both sidelines and an on-court projection system that will bring pregame introductions and in-game entertainment to life. The enhancements are designed to create a more immersive experience for fans throughout the season.

Season tickets are now on sale for $200 and include admission to all UWF men's and women's basketball home games. Those looking to further support Argonaut Athletics can join the Argonaut Athletic Club with a $250 annual gift to receive the Argonaut Game Pass, which provides general admission entry to all UWF home games, with the exception of football.

"I'm super excited about our team's first Division I schedule," said head coach Stephanie Lawrence Yelton. "We're stepping into a new era with regional opponents in non-conference play and the opportunity to showcase the ASUN & UAC in the UWF field house beginning in December" 

The Argos will open the season on Nov. 3 on the road against East Tennessee State. UWF will play the home opener on Nov. 9 against Pensacola Christian. The first home Division I opponent will be Florida A&M on Nov. 15. ASUN conference action begins on Jan. 9 at home against Queens.
