Duke to Host South Carolina in 2026 SEC/ACC Challenge
6/5/2026 10:35:00 AM | Women's Basketball
DURHAM, N.C.— Duke will host South Carolina in the 2026 SEC/ACC Women's Basketball Challenge, as announced by ESPN Friday morning.
Tipoff between the Blue Devils and Gamecocks will be Dec. 3 inside Cameron Indoor Stadium. Official game time and network designation will be announced at a later date.
The SEC/ACC Challenge is entering its fourth season. Duke also faced South Carolina in Columbia in 2024 and is 1-2 all-time in the event. Guarantee you'll have a seat inside Cameron Dec. 3 by purchasing season tickets today at GoDuke.com/wbbtix.
The matchup will feature two of the top five teams from the Associated Press' 2025 final rankings as Duke landed at No. 5 and South Carolina at No. 2. The Blue Devils' No. 5 final ranking was the highest since Duke was fifth in the final 2013 poll.
Duke and South Carolina square off for the 13th time in the programs' histories and for the fourth straight season. Duke is 2-10 all-time against the perennial power, with the last win being a 74-63 triumph over the No. 3 Gamecocks in 2016. Duke was unranked coming into that contest.
The Blue Devils, under the direction of sixth-year head coach Kara Lawson, welcome back three starters and nine players from the 2025-26 team that captured both the ACC regular season and tournament titles en route to a run to the Elite Eight for a second consecutive season.
Lawson also welcomes a talented group of four freshmen in addition to sophomore Texas transfer Aaliyah Crump to round out the roster.
Duke's 2026-27 schedule is in its final stages of planning and will be announced later in the summer.
