CONWAY – Coastal Carolina women's basketball head coach Kevin Pederson has announced the 2026-27 women's basketball schedule. The Chanticleers will play a total of 31 games, with 13 against non-conference opponents this season and a 18-game conference slate. The HTC Center will host 14 games for Coastal Carolina women's basketball this season.
"Last year, the Sun Belt Women's Basketball Conference ranked as a top 3 Mid-Major league trailing only the Big East and Atlantic 10," Pederson said. "With the addition of games against Alabama, NC State and Indiana we will once again play one of the strongest mid-major schedules in the country. Each of the last two seasons has produced a top three NET ranking in program history and I believe a lot of the progress we're making is due to the benefit of playing such a strong schedule. Our staff has done an outstanding job of increasing our talent level, and we look forward to bringing our brand of fast paced Coastal Chaos to the HTC Center for the 26-27 season! Come out and make some noise and help us make the HTC Center one of the toughest Mid-Major gyms to play in across the country, Chants up!"
