Every Australian in NCAAW basketball in 2025-26

• More than 10 Australian women's basketballers will play their Senior years in NCAAW in 2025-26
• 15 players entered the Transfer Portal to play at another school in 2025-26
• Every Australian in the NCAA Men's basketball in 2025-26

More than 80 of Australia's best young women's basketballers are preparing for the 2025-26 NCAAW season in the United States starting later this year.

Many players are heading to the United States in August to prepare for the start of the academic year in late August and early September.

This is an ever expanding list of every player enrolled at a US college, including their educational year heading into 2025-26. This list also includes the Senior Class from 2024-25. Seniors have completed their four-year eligibility but some players can compete as 5th year year seniors.

As we learn more about their status for next season, we will update this list. We have made the assumption that each player is remaining at their existing school unless they have entered the Transfer Portal. If you know a player that isn't on our list or is going into their Freshman year or other details are incorrect, please email info@basketball.com.au and we'll update the list.
