EL PASO, Texas – UTEP women's basketball head coach
Keitha Adams announced the Miners' 2025-26 schedule on Wednesday. It is highlighted by 16 home games and a competitive non-conference slate that sets the stage for Conference USA play.
"We're excited to get our season started," Adams said. "We have a very good nucleus of players back and added some talented newcomers. Miner fans, we will play several homes games, so come out and get to know our team. Look forward to seeing you in the Don! Go Miners!"
The Miners open the season with four straight home contests, welcoming Prairie View A&M (Nov. 3), Nicholls State (Nov. 8), WNMU (Nov. 11), and UT Martin (Nov. 22). UTEP will also host Denver (Nov. 29), Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (Dec. 3), UC Irvine (Dec. 18), and USW (Dec. 29) before the calendar turns to 2026.
The Orange and Blue will have three non-conference road trips, including challenging matchups at TCU (Dec. 6) and BYU (Dec. 13), along with a visit to Kansas City (Nov. 25).
Conference USA play tips off Jan. 2 when Delaware visits the Don Haskins Center, followed by Liberty (Jan. 4). The Miners' other home league contests are Missouri State (Jan. 15), FIU (Jan. 17), rival NM State (Jan. 31), LA Tech (Feb. 5), Sam Houston (Feb. 7), Jax State (Feb. 26), and Kennesaw State (Feb 28).

The Miners close the regular season on the road with back-to-back contests at Sam Houston (Mar. 5) and LA Tech (Mar. 7).
UTEP returns 10 players from last year's 2024-25 team, including three statistical leaders –
