All seven regular season matchups feature the No. 2 nationally ranked Minnesota women’s hockey program, facing off at all seven other WCHA institutions. Highlighting the best collegiate women’s hockey conference in the country, the Gophers drop the puck against other nationally ranked programs in No. 1 Ohio State, No. 4/5 Minnesota Duluth, No. 4/5 Wisconsin, and Minnesota State who is receiving votes in the current national polls. Other strong league matchups include Bemidji State, St. Cloud State, and the league’s newest member in St. Thomas.
 
Following the regular season, FOX 9+ is set to broadcast the highly anticipated WCHA Final Faceoff, including a pair of semifinal games on Friday, March 3, followed by the WCHA Championship on Saturday, March 4. Last season’s Final Faceoff featured four teams ranked in the top-5 in the nation, along with an overtime victory for Ohio State in the championship that earned the Buckeyes an automatic bid for the NCAA Tournament. Although joined by Minnesota, Minnesota Duluth, and Wisconsin in the postseason, Ohio State went on to add to its Final Faceoff Championship title by claiming its first NCAA National Championship.
