2026 American tournament winner

The 2025–26 UTSA Roadrunners women's basketball team represented the University of Texas at San Antonio during the 2025–26 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Roadrunners, led by fifth-year head coach Karen Aston, played their home games at the Convocation Center in San Antonio, Texas, as second-year members of the American Athletic Conference.

UTSA won the American Conference tournament, defeating Rice in the final, 54–40.[1]

Previous season

The Roadrunners finished the 2024–25 season 26–5 and 17–1 in AAC play, becoming the conference regular season champions. As the No. 1 seed in the AAC tournament, they lost in the quarterfinals in a four-point upset to No. 9 seeded Rice.

As conference regular season champions who did not win their conference title and were not selected for the NCAA tournament, they earned an automatic bid to the WBIT for the first time, where they lost in the first round to Gonzaga.
