The 2026–27 Hofstra Pride women's basketball team will represent Hofstra University during the 2026–27 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Pride, led by eighth-year head coach Danielle Santos Atkinson, will play their home games at the Mack Sports Complex in Hempstead, New York, as members of the Coastal Athletic Association.
Previous season
The Pride finished the 2025–26 season 11–22 overall and 6–12 in CAA play, to finish tenth in the conference. As the No. 10 seed in the CAA tournament, they saw an unprecedented tournament run, beating No. 7 Towson in the second round, upsetting No. 2 Campbell in regulation in the quarterfinals and No. 3 Drexel in overtime in the semifinals to send them to the conference championship game for the first time since 2015. They were unable to capture the conference title, as they lost to No. 1 Charleston 56–68. They did not qualify for any postseason tournaments.
By making it to the CAA championship game as the #10 seed, they became the lowest ranked team ever to do so, beating the record previously set by the 2024–25 William & Mary Tribe who made it to and won the conference title as a No. 9 seed.
