The Syracuse women advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2025-26, and they'll have several chances to show off their program again this season.
The Syracuse Orange women's basketball program advanced to the NCAA Tournament last season, winning a game in the Round of 64 before losing to the UConn Huskies in the Round of 32.
And while the program looks much different this season because of transfer portal losses and graduation losses, head coach Felisha Legette-Jack's group still seems likely to be a factor in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
And the Orange are going to get plenty of chances to show their program off, as they were given 13 nationally-televised games in the upcoming campaign. That information was released on Tuesday.

Syracuse head coach Felisha Legette-Jack answers questions from the media at The Hilton Charlotte Uptown. William Howard-Imagn ImageWhy this is important
Winning is the No. 1 way for a program to sell itself. If you win, recruits will be impressed and will want to come play for you. That's pretty simple.
However, getting national television exposure is also important. Creating brand recognition is a big deal and helps lead to recruiting successes as well.
The Orange having nearly half their schedule broadcast to a national audience is a good thing.
Things to note in this schedule
--Duke won the ACC title last season and advanced to the Elite Eight.
--The UNC game happens on New Years Eve, which means it could draw a light crowd at the JMA Wireless Dome. That's also the return of Sophie Burrows, who transferred from Syracuse to UNC in the offseason.
--Notre Dame represents a big game for the Orange, as Hannah Hidalgo is one of the top players in the country.
Up next
The Orange will kick off their exhibition slate on Monday when they travel to Mohegan Sun to take on UConn again. Game time is set for 6 p.m. ET.
