Official schedule includes a date discrepancy
The official schedule table lists Gigi’s Bachelorette for Nov. 5, 2026. The announcement narrative identifies the event as Friday, Nov. 6, creating a discrepancy in the published material. Fans should wait for the University of Miami to clarify the date before making plans.
The schedule table lists the ACC Home Opener for Dec. 22. Canes for Life, identified as Senior Night, is listed for Feb. 28 and marks the end of the regular-season home promotional schedule. Further information about each promotion will be released throughout the season.
FSB Take
Miami women’s basketball has announced a 15-event promotional calendar that spans the team’s home schedule from November through February. The lineup combines community, cultural, youth, charitable and program-history events at the Watsco Center. The Nov. 5 and Nov. 6 discrepancy for Gigi’s Bachelorette should be resolved before fans rely on that event date.
