No schedule or even a full roster yet, but here's what we know about the likely schedule (meaning when the tournaments we usually play are scheduled):
Fall
* Oct. 4-10: ITA All-American Championships (Charleston, SC) (no Stanford players in the main draw yet, but I would expect some to play in qualifying)
* possible: Oct. 8-10: Long Beach State Fall Tournament (this is just a guess, but it's the only CA-based fall tournament, looks like)
* Oct. 22-26: ITA Northwest Regionals at Stanford
* possible: Oct. 28-31: Wildcat Invitational, Tucson, AZ (just a guess)
* possible: Nov. 1-7: ASU Thunderbird Invitational, Tempe, AZ (just a guess, but it would allow those players not qualifying for Fall Nationals to get some fall matches)
* Nov. 4-7: ITA Fall Nationals (for Regional singles finalists and Regional doubles champions, plus a few other avenues for qualification)
Spring
Traditionally, there are a couple of January tournaments in which Stanford players appear, the Freeman Memorial in Las Vegas and another tournament in Palm Springs. Dates on those aren't available yet, though.
* Jan. 28-31: ITA Kickoff Weekend in Charlottesville, VA. First match will be against last year's #36 team, Arkansas, and if we win (and we'd better), we'll play last year's #9, UVA. UVA will have a very tough top 3, so our recipe there is doubles and singles depth.
* Feb. 11-14: Indoor Nationals in Madison, WI (if we beat UVA and qualify)
Home Pac-12 matches (dates TBD): UCLA, USC, Oregon, Colorado, Utah
Away Pac-12 matches (dates TBD): Cal, UW, WSU, ASU, Arizona
The 2020 season saw canceled non-conference matches against Harvard and UCSB, so we may see those get added. Our non-conference slate in 2020 also had then-#3 Texas, TCU, UC Davis, St. Mary's, and Hawaii, so expect a similar batch of teams. (And perhaps more added for that 2/11-14 window if we don't qualify for Indoor Nationals). Depending on what covid restrictions/guidelines are in place, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see travel limited.
