Colleges With Women's Basketball Teams

NextCommit's coach data lists 1,197 four-year colleges with women's basketball teams for 2026-27: 338 D1, 285 D2, 377 D3 and 197 NAIA programs. Another 473 junior colleges have teams. These pages show the 636 four-year programs whose 2026-27 rosters we could read in full on September 29, 2026.

The typical four-year women's basketball program on this list has 3 players in their last season on its 2026-27 roster. Guards are the most common opening: 92% of these programs lose at least one, then forwards at 70%.

Players in their last season on the college's 2026-27 roster page: seniors, graduate students and fifth-year players at four-year schools, and sophomores at junior colleges. Redshirt marks do not change the count. Their spots open for recruits who start college in 2027.

No. It means a roster spot the coaches have to refill, with high school recruits, transfers or walk-ons. How much athletic aid comes with a spot depends on the level, and Division III schools give none. Some players also get an extra year through a waiver.

That is Roster Needs, part of NextCommit Pro. It shows the positions each school is losing and filters your coach list to the programs that need your position. This page shows each school's total only.

Find schools at your level with players leaving, check which level fits you with the free Women's Basketball Recruit Score, then email the head coach or recruiting coordinator with your highlight film, stats, schedule and GPA. Follow up when you have something new to share.

NextCommit reads college roster pages twice a year, after fall and spring rosters are posted. This page shows the September 29, 2026 read of 2026-27 rosters. Schools we could not read in full join the list when a later read passes.
