USC & UCLA Will Each Host One Crosstown Rivalry Game

UCLA and USC’s rivalry games will be two of the most anticipated matchups of the regular season.

The Bruins are coming off a national championship season but are entering a rebuilding era after losing six players to the 2026 WNBA Draft. Meanwhile, the Trojans are projected to be a frontrunner to win the NCAA title during the 2026-27 season. USC has the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class and will be getting superstar JuJu Watkins back after she missed all of last season.
