The Michigan women’s basketball team, coming off a record-setting campaign, will host national powerhouse UConn next season as part of a home-and-home series.

UConn, which has won a dozen national titles but lost in the national semifinals earlier this month, will play Michigan at Crisler Center on Nov. 5, the program announced Wednesday. This will be the first time UConn has played in the state of Michigan.

Michigan will play UConn in the return game in Connecticut during the 2027-28 season, making it three straight years the two teams will square off. The Wolverines and Huskies faced each other last season on a neutral court, with UConn winning, 72-69, at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Michigan won 28 games last season, tying a single-season program record, and went on to reach the Elite Eight. The Wolverines’ 24 regular-season wins were a program record and their 15-3 Big Ten record was also a program best. They were 17-1 at home, with the only loss coming to eventual national champion UCLA, and Michigan set program records for total points (2,880) and scoring average (82.3 points per game).

Michigan returns its top five scorers from last season's Elite Eight team: Oliva Olson (18.9 points), Syla Swords (14.6 points), Mila Holloway (12.3 points), Te’Yala Delfosse (8.7 points) and Ashley Sofilkanich (7.7 points).
