The 2025-26 Missouri Valley Conference schedule for the Valpo women's basketball team has been set, consisting of 20 games in a true double-round robin slate.
 
The schedule opens with a lone game in early December in the midst of nonconference action, as the Beacons welcome UIC to the ARC Sunday, Dec. 7 at 3 p.m. The heart of the conference schedule gets underway with a rare Monday matinee at 1 p.m. Dec. 29, with UNI coming to town.
 
Valpo plays on the road in MVC play for the first time Jan. 1 and 3, making the in-state swing to Indiana State and Evansville, respectively. Other conference road dates include Jan. 10 (Southern Illinois), Jan. 15 (Illinois State), Jan. 23 (Bradley), Jan. 31 (UIC), Feb. 13 (Murray State), Feb. 15 (Belmont), Feb. 19 (Drake) and Feb. 26 (UNI).
 
Home dates resume following the in-state road trip on Thursday, Jan. 8 versus Bradley. The Beacons take to the floor of the ARC as well on Jan. 18 (Drake), Jan. 29 (Indiana State), Feb. 5 (Evansville), Feb. 7 (Southern Illinois), Feb. 28 (Illinois State), March 5 (Belmont) and March 7 (Murray State). Game times for home games, with the exception of the two previously mentioned, will be 6 p.m. for weekday games and 1 p.m. for weekend games.
 
The 2026 MVC Women's Basketball Tournament is slated for March 12-15, at Xtream Arena in Coralville, Iowa. The tournament champion receives the Valley's automatic bid into the 2026 NCAA Tournament.
