BIG TEN DIVISION SCHEDULE NOTES

NOTE: Game times on March 21-22 are tentative as of January 31 with a site for the weekend tournament TBA (January 31)
NOTE: The site of the February 21-22 weekend moves from the University of Michigan to Huron High School (February 9)
NOTE:  Due to the University of Iowa electing not to compete on February 21-22 at Huron High School, the weekend schedule is revised. With Iowa declining the first weekend, there are four Eastern teams and three Western teams. This will require the Eastern clubs to play each other in order to receive four games. Since they are already doing that later in the season, the league alternated the opponent to avoid having to play a team three times in the regular season. For example, Michigan A is playing Ohio State University twice in March. Therefore, Michigan “A” is scheduled against Michigan State University during the February weekend. (February 13)
NOTE:  The Big Ten Division Championship will be seeded by won/loss percentage since teams will have played a different number of contests (February 13)
NOTE: The schedule of games on Sunday, February 22, at the University of Michigan is revised with Ohio State University and the University of Michigan “B” exchanging the 9:45 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. positions against Purdue University to allow Ohio State to depart earlier back to Columbus, Ohio (February 16)
NOTE: The Big Ten Division schedule is updated with the March 1 University of Illinois-vs.-University of Iowa and Purdue University-vs.-University of Wisconsin games at Purdue joining the March 28-29 Michigan State University-vs.-University of Michigan “A”, Ohio State University-vs.-University of Michigan “B”, Ohio State University-vs.-University of Michigan “A” and University of Michigan “B”-vs.-Michigan State University games being listed as exhibition contests.  Further, the previously scheduled March 21-22 weekend at a site to be determined moves to March 28-29 (February 24)
NOTE: Game times for the final regular season Big Ten Division tournament on Saturday-Sunday, March 28-29 at Ohio State University are established with competition beginning at 4:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.  Games on Saturday, March 28, will use five minute quarters with neither overtime nor timeouts (March 10)
NOTE: The schedule for the weekend of Saturday-Sunday, March 28-29, at Ohio State University is revised as of March 25.  Games on Saturday, March 28, will use five minute quarters with neither overtime nor timeouts (March 25)
NOTE: Due to the teams playing an unequal number of games, seeding for the Big Ten Division Championship occurs via winning percentage (March 31)

2026 Big Ten Women Standings

*Michigan State University takes the No. 3 seed due to a 5-1 head-to-head win versus The Ohio State University on March 28; ^To break the tie for the No. 7 position between the University of Iowa and the University of Michigan “B”, the goal differential for all common opponents seeded higher is used. Since Iowa played fewer games compared to Michigan “B”, the differential in games featuring common opponents (University of Wisconsin, University of Illinois, Purdue University) is used to break the tie.  Michigan “B” lost to Wisconsin (16-3 L), Illinois (6-4 L) and Purdue (6-1 L) for a -20 differential, while Iowa lost to Wisconsin (10-9 L), Illinois (15-4 L) and Purdue (8-4 L) for a -16 differential to earn the No. 7 position.
