Seattle U’s second season since returning to the West Coast Conference will begin at home. The Redhawks are scheduled to host Loyola Marymount in the Jan. 2–3 opening window of the 2026–27 league calendar, according to the WCC’s official weekly matchup schedule.
Pepperdine follows in Seattle during the Jan. 5–7 window. The dates are weekly windows rather than final tip-time listings; the conference says specific game dates and broadcast information will be announced after national television selections.
How the 16-game format works
The WCC’s 10 programs will each play 16 conference games: seven home-and-away series, one home-only opponent and one away-only opponent. For Seattle U, Portland is the home-only opponent and Pacific is the away-only opponent.
That means the Redhawks will host Portland in the Jan. 23–24 window and travel to Pacific in the Jan. 16–17 window, with no scheduled return meeting against either school in the regular season. Denver, LMU, Pepperdine, Saint Mary’s, San Diego, San Francisco and Santa Clara are Seattle U’s seven home-and-away opponents.
A new conference destination
Seattle U’s first WCC trip to Denver is set for the Jan. 9–10 window. Denver is a new conference member for 2026–27, making the Pioneers a new league opponent rather than a carryover from Seattle U’s first season back in the WCC.
The return meeting is scheduled in Seattle in the Feb. 20–21 window. That placement makes Denver a two-game opponent, not one of the schedule’s single-play exceptions.
What remains to be announced
The opponent pairings and weekly windows are official. Individual game dates, tip times and television assignments remain pending, so the schedule should not be read as a set of finalized daily listings.
For Seattle U, the confirmed framework is a home opening against LMU, a January visit to new member Denver and a balanced slate built around seven repeat opponents. The completed game calendar will add the final logistical detail later in the fall.
