National champion Oklahoma announces 2026 women's gymnastics schedule

The defending national-champion Oklahoma women's gymnastics team announced its 2026 schedule on Tuesday.

Oklahoma begins its season Jan. 10 against LSU, UCLA and Utah at the Sprouts Farmer's Market Collegiate Quad from the Beehive State. And the Sooners will open its Southeastern Conference schedule Jan. 16 on the road against Missouri. That meet will mark the first time Oklahoma has competed against the Tigers in Columbia since 2012.

The next Friday, Jan. 23, the 2025 championship team will be honored at Lloyd Noble Center during the Sooners' SEC home opener against Georgia. Then, the most anticpated meet comes Feb. 6 when 2024 national-champion LSU visits Lloyd Noble for the first time since 2014.

The two schools are again considered favorites for the 2026 title. Oklahoma returns No. 1-rated all-around gymnast Faith Torrez and All-Americans Addison Fatta, Elle Mueller and Lily Peterson. Coach K.J. Kindler also signed the top-ranked recruiting class in the country, as well.

Kindler and the Sooners have won seven national titles since 2014, including three of the last four. This season's schedule is built to test Oklahoma ahead of the NCAA Tournament, which begins April 1. The complete schedule can be seen below.
