Women’s Basketball Announces Home-And-Home with Tennessee
July 18, 2025 | Women's Basketball
LOS ANGELES – UCLA Women's Basketball has agreed to a home-and-home series with the Tennessee Lady Volunteers, set to begin in the 2025-26 season. The Bruins and Lady Vols will square off in Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom Financial on Sunday, Nov. 30, 2025 with a trip to Knoxville planned for 2026.
It will be the second-consecutive year in which the Bruins play host to an SEC foe during November; UCLA downed then-No. 1 South Carolina on Nov. 24, 2024 in front of a sold-out crowd during the Bruins' historic 2024-25 campaign.
UCLA's non-conference schedule is shaping up to be one of the most challenging in Division I women's basketball. The Bruins have already announced a matchup against Texas at the inaugural Players Era Women's Championship in Las Vegas, Nev., next Thanksgiving. UCLA will also play Duke or South Carolina depending on the results of the first set of games; the Gamecocks and Longhorns both made the 2025 Women's Final Four last season, with South Carolina finishing as the national runner-up.
The Bruins will make a trip to Knoxville in 2026 for the first time in over a decade; UCLA last played at Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center on the University of Tennessee campus during the 2009-10 season.

UCLA vs. Tennessee
UCLA is 3-18 all-time against Tennessee, but the program has captured two-consecutive wins over the Lady Vols under The Michael Price Family UCLA Women's Head Basketball Coach Cori Close. Both wins came at neutral site locations.
The Bruins shot a scorching 16-for-30 from the three-point line against Tennessee in the most recent meeting at the 2022 Battle 4 Atlantis in The Bahamas, tying a single-game record in long-distance makes (16 3PM – Feb. 26, 2021 vs. USC) for the program. UCLA held Tennessee and now-Los Angeles Sparks star Rickea Jackson (14 PTS, 2-9 FG, 10-12 FT) to just 63 points after the Lady Vols scored 94 points in their first-round matchup against Rutgers. The Bruins assisted on 21 of their 27 made baskets in the win; Kiki Rice finished with 15 points, six rebounds, six assists, a pair of steals and a block.
