WCHA releases its 2025-26 schedule
The Western Collegiate Hockey Association released its composite league schedule for the 2025-26 season on Wednesday, May 21. The schedule has 112 conference games as the WCHA enters its 27th season of women’s hockey competition.
Game days and times of each two-game series will be determined by the host institution, with the WCHA online composite schedule being updated accordingly. While the weekends are assigned, teams may opt to play Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, or for an agreed-upon home-and-home series.
Nonconference games will also be updated on the composite schedule upon announcements from each WCHA member. The WCHA league schedule features 28 games for each of its eight teams, playing in two, two-game series against each of the other seven member institutions.
The WCHA has won 22 national championships since 2000. Wisconsin won the WCHA’s 21st NCAA championship title in March with a 4-3 overtime victory over WCHA foe Ohio State.
The battle for the Julianne Bye Cup (regular season champion) begins on the fourth weekend Sept. 26 when reigning WCHA regular season champion, WCHA Final Faceoff champion, and NCAA champion Wisconsin travels to Bemidji State.
The first full weekend of WCHA competition takes place the weekend of Oct. 10-11 as Ohio State hosts Bemidji State, Minnesota welcomes St. Cloud State to Minneapolis, Minnesota State faces St. Thomas and Minnesota Duluth travels to Wisconsin.
The final weekend of the regular season takes place the weekend of Feb. 20-21 as Bemidji State hosts Ohio State, Minnesota Duluth is at Minnesota on the road, Minnesota State is at St. Thomas and St. Cloud State is at Wisconsin.
