The Big Ten has revealed the home and road opponents for the 2024-25 women's basketball season. It comes as no surprise that Purdue's lone home-and-away conference game on the schedule is against in-state rival Indiana.

Purdue is coming off a 15-19 campaign in the 2023-24 season, which included a 5-13 mark in conference play. It was a step back for the Boilermakers after finishing the 2022-23 campaign with a 19-11 mark and reaching the NCAA Tournament.

Will the schedule help Purdue at all next season?

The Boilermakers are entering Year 4 under coach Katie Gearlds. Purdue is 51-45 in the past three seasons.

With four new teams coming into the conference — Oregon, UCLA, USC and Washington — Purdue will play eight opponents in home-only matchups and eight conference opponents in road-only contests. Each team will have one home-and-road opponent next season, keeping the schedule at 18 conference games.

The Big Ten did not release game dates for the 2024-25 season yet. Those will be released at a later date. Here's a look at Purdue's opponents for next season:
