The 2026–27 Stanford Cardinal women's basketball team will represent Stanford University during the 2026–27 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Cardinal will be led by third-year head coach Kate Paye, and will play their home games at Maples Pavilion in Stanford, California as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Previous season
The Cardinal finished the 2025–26 season 21–14 overall and 8–10 in ACC play, to finish in a three-way tie for eleventh place in the conference with Georgia Tech and Miami. As the No. 13 seed in the ACC tournament, they lost in overtime to No. 12 Miami.
Following their tournament elimination, the Cardinal earned an at-large bid to the WBIT, where they were seeded No. 2 in the BYU Bracket. They defeated unseeded Loyola Marymount and Quinnipiac in the first and second rounds respectively, before falling to top-seeded and eventual tournament runners-up BYU in the quarterfinals.
