ANN ARBOR, Mich. (Interstat) — The Michigan women’s basketball team will open its 2025-26 season at home Tuesday night, hosting the Canisius Golden Griffins at Crisler Center.

Both teams are 0-0 and will be playing their first game of the new campaign. The matchup marks the start of a new chapter for the Wolverines, who look to rebound from a 55-76 loss to Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament last March 23.

Canisius also enters seeking a fresh start after concluding its previous season with a 42-52 loss to Manhattan on March 11.

The game in Ann Arbor kicks off a challenging stretch for the Golden Griffins, who will play seven of their first eight games on the road. Their upcoming schedule includes trips to Syracuse and Dayton.

For Michigan, the season opener is the first of two high-profile non-conference tests, with a neutral-site rematch against Notre Dame looming on Nov. 15 and a showdown with perennial power Connecticut scheduled for Nov. 21.

Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. EST. Michigan’s next game is at home against Harvard on Sunday, Nov. 9. Canisius returns to action Friday, Nov. 7, for its home opener against Eastern Michigan.
