WCHA Announces 2025-26 League Schedule

The Western Collegiate Hockey Association announced its composite league schedule for the upcoming 2025-26 season. The schedule features a total of 112 conference games as the league enters its 27th season of women's hockey competition.
  
The 2025-26 composite schedule outlines weekend dates and opponents for each of the league’s eight member institutions. Exact game days and times of each two-game series will be determined by the host institution, with the WCHA online composite schedule being updated accordingly. While the weekends are assigned, teams may opt to play Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, or for an agreed-upon home-and-home series. Non-conference matchups will also be updated on the composite schedule upon announcements from each league member. The WCHA league schedule features 28 games for each team in 2025-26 as all eight programs play in two, two-game series (one home, one away) against each of the other seven member institutions. 

As the nation’s premier women’s collegiate hockey conference, the WCHA has won 22 national championships since 2000. Wisconsin won the WCHA's 21st NCAA National Championship title this past March with a 4-3 overtime victory over fellow WCHA foe Ohio State. 
 
The battle for the Julianne Bye Cup (regular season champion) begins on the fourth weekend of September (Sept. 26-27) as reigning WCHA regular season champion, WCHA Final Faceoff Champion, and NCAA Champion Wisconsin travels to Bemidji State. 

The first full weekend of league competition takes place the weekend of Oct. 10-11 as Ohio State hosts Bemidji State, Minnesota welcomes St. Cloud State to Minneapolis, Minnesota State faces St. Thomas, and Minnesota Duluth travels to Wisconsin. 
 
In a rematch of the 2023, 2024, and 2025 NCAA championship games, Wisconsin and Ohio State will square off against each other first in Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 5-6, and then meet later in the season in Madison, Wisconsin, Feb. 6-7.
 
The final weekend of the regular season takes place the weekend of Feb. 20-21 as Bemidji State hosts Ohio State, Minnesota Duluth takes on Minnesota on the road, St. Thomas hosts Minnesota State, and Wisconsin welcomes St. Cloud State to Madison. 
 
Throughout the season, fans can watch all WCHA home games via the B1G+ on-demand streaming service. To subscribe to B1G+ for the 2025-26 season, visit www.bigtenplus.com
