The Huskies will take on Louisville at Ramstein Air Base on Nov. 4, 2025.
UConn women’s basketball will begin its 2025-26 season overseas. On Thursday, the Huskies announced that they will take on Louisville in the 2025 Armed Forces Classic at Ramstein Air Base in Ramstein-Miesenbach, Germany on Nov. 5, 2025.
“We want to do as much as we possibly can, both personally and team-wise, to support our armed forces,” head coach Geno Auriemma said in a release. “I’m glad we’re getting the opportunity to go overseas and have many of our military members see us play in person. I know it’ll be an experience of a lifetime for everyone in our program.”
This is the 10th edition of the Armed Forces Classic but the first involving women’s teams. UConn men’s basketball played in the inaugural event back in 2012, defeating Michigan State 66-62 at Ramstein Air Base. Ramstein-Miesenbach is located in the west of Germany near the French border.
The Huskies and Cardinals are plenty familiar with each other as former Big East/AAC conference mates and now frequent non-conference opponents. UConn has a 19-3 edge all-time against Louisville, including an 88-62 win last season.
Now, the teams seem to be making an effort to face each other anywhere except their home courts. They’ll play in the Women’s Champions Classic on Dec. 7 at the Barclays Center this year and then have the trip to Germany next year.
Assuming there’s no changes to the current schedule, the Huskies will rack up the airline miles next season. Along with this contest, they will also head to the west coast to complete a home-and-home series with USC.
