"It was an incredible experience for Oklahoma City to fill the arena with both OSU and OU fans in 2024," said Paycom Center General Manager Chris Semrau. "We are honored to not only continue to host the Bedlam tradition, but also expand it by adding the women's game."

The Oklahoma State and Oklahoma men's programs have met 250 times, including at least once every season since 1927-28.

The Cowgirls are set to revive a half-century-old rivalry with the Sooners following a one-year hiatus. Both teams were nationally ranked and earned NCAA Tournament bids in 2025.

Game times will be announced at a later date, pending television assignments.
