Providence women’s basketball team hit the road a lot early in season. Here’s the schedule.

Get a look at the Providence women’s basketball team early in this upcoming 2024-25 season. You won’t see much of the Friars at Alumni Hall for a month-long span starting in early November.

Providence opens with three straight games at home before playing seven of its next eight on the road, including five different trips off campus.

A three-day stint at the Cancun Challenge highlights the time away. The Friars will visit the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya for matchups with VCU, Wisconsin and San Diego State. Games are set for Nov. 28-30, a prime window for neutral court events over the Thanksgiving holiday.
