EVANSTON, Ill. (October 7, 2025) – Northwestern women's basketball will play in six nationally televised contests, according to the broadcast schedule released by the Big Ten Conference on Tuesday.

Home matchups against Golden State foes UCLA (Jan. 25) and USC (Feb. 5) on BTN precede a February 12 tilt with Michigan at Welsh-Ryan Arena that is slated to air on Peacock.  Three days later, the Wildcats return to BTN when they trek east to take on Penn State at the Bryce Jordan Center in University Park, Pa.
