The Big 12 Conference will be the epicenter of some real turnover for the 2026-27 season due to the transfer portal.
16 women’s basketball teams will be looking for new talent for the 2026-27 season as they not only lose players without any remaining eligibility but prepare to lose players to the transfer portal. At least two teams have lost the majority of its roster to the transfer portal.
That’s what this tracker is for. We at Heartland College Sports are going to try and keep up with every move.
Below you’ll find the final roster for each Big 12 women’s basketball team. It’s categorized by players that are out of eligibility, players that have remaining eligibility and are expected to return, players that are in the transfer portal and prep players signed for 2026-27. We’ll also add players added through the portal.
As basketball fans, you know that the portal can be a fluid situation. We’ll update as often as we can. So check back here and we’ll keep you updated.
