† 2026 ASUN tournament winner * ineligible for the 2026 NCAA tournament due to transition from Division II As of March 20, 2026

The 2025–26 West Georgia Wolves women's basketball team represents the University of West Georgia during the 2025–26 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Wolves, led by fourth-year head coach Joanna Reitz, play their home games at The Coliseum in Carrollton, Georgia as second-year members of the Atlantic Sun Conference.

This season will mark West Georgia's second year of a now three-year transition period from Division II to Division I, thanks to a ruling from the NCAA in January 2025 that reduced the transition period from DII to DI by a year, from four years to three years. As a result, the Wolves are now currently ineligible to participate in the NCAA tournament until the 2027–28 season.^[1]

Previous season

The Wolves finished the 2024–25 season 13–17, 7–11 in ASUN play, to finish in a tie for ninth place.^[2] They were defeated by Austin Peay in the first round of the ASUN tournament.^[3]

Preseason

On October 17, 2025, the Atlantic Sun Conference released their preseason coaches and media polls. West Georgia was picked to finish tenth in both the coaches poll, and the media poll.^[4]
