† 2026 WCC tournament winner As of December 19, 2025

The 2025–26 Washington State Cougars women's basketball team represented Washington State University during the 2025-26 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Cougars are led by eighth-year head coach Kamie Ethridge and they play their home games at Beasley Coliseum as affiliate members of the West Coast Conference.

Previous season

The Cougars finished with a regular season record of 21–14 and a conference record of 14–6 in WCC to finish in third place. As a No. 3 seed in the WCC tournament they defeated Pacific in the first before losing to Portland in the second round. They received an at-large bid to the WNIT, where they defeated Utah Valley in the first round before losing to North Dakota State in the second round.

This would be the first of two seasons as a WCC member before they join the newly revived Pac-12 in the 2026–27 season.
