The 2025–26 WAC women's basketball season began with practices in October followed by the start of the 2025–26 NCAA Division I women's basketball season in early November 2025. The conference begins play in December 2025. This is the WAC's 64th season of basketball. The WAC competes with seven teams due to two teams having left the conference since the prior season. Seattle and Grand Canyon both joined the other conferences since the prior year. The WAC tournament will be held in March 2026 with all seven teams competing for the automatic bid to the 2026 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament. All rounds will be played at the Orleans Arena in the Las Vegas-area community of Paradise, Nevada.
This will be the last season under the WAC's current identity. California Baptist and Utah Valley will join the Big West Conference and Southern Utah and Utah Tech will join the Big Sky Conference on July 1, 2026. At that time, the WAC will rebrand as the United Athletic Conference (UAC), previously the name of a football-only alliance between the WAC and the Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN). Three remaining teams—Abilene Christian, Tarleton State, and UT Arlington—will be joined by new members of the rebranded UAC.
