PHILADELPHIA – The schedule is set as a new era in Big 5 women’s basketball begins in the 2024-25 season.

Under the new format, all six of the city’s NCAA Division I women’s basketball programs will be divided into two pods of three teams. Each team will play the others in its pod at campus sites in a round-robin format. Those games will be scheduled for a tripleheader at Villanova’s Finneran Pavilion on Friday, Dec. 6, with the top seed in each pod competing for the Big 5 championship, the second-place teams in each pod competing for third place and the third seeds competing for fifth place.

For this first season of the new Big 5 women’s format, Pod 1 features Drexel, La Salle and Temple, while Pod 2 features Penn, Saint Joseph’s and Villanova.

Last season, Temple tied for the AAC Regular Season title and won 20 games in a single season for the first time in nearly a decade.

Please note: Ticket information for the Big 5 tripleheader at Finneran Pavilion will be announced at a later date.
