Cal announced the matchups on Thursday, but the game times have not been set.
The game against Nebraska is one of two games that are set on the Bears 2025-26 schedule. The other scheduled game is Cal matchup against Texas A&M on December 3 in Berkeley as part of the SEC/ACCChallenge.
Cal returns four starters, including leading scorer Lulu Twidale, from last year’s squad, which finished with a 21-15 record and reached the quarterfinals of the Women’s Basketball Invitation Tournament. The Bears added several transfers who figure to make an immediate impact, including Missouri transfer Shannon Dowell and Rhode Island transfer Albina Syla.
Nebraska went 19-13 last season and reached the second round of the NCAA tournament. The Huskers return three of their top four scorers and added freshman Ashlyn Koupal, a McDonald’s All-American.
