# 2021–22 BYU Cougars women's basketball team

The 2021–22 BYU Cougars women's basketball team represented Brigham Young University during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. It was head coach Jeff Judkins's twenty first and final season at BYU. The Cougars, members of the West Coast Conference, played their home games at the Marriott Center.

## Before the season
### Departures

Due to COVID-19 disruptions throughout college sports, the NCAA ruled that the 2020–21 season would not count against the eligibility of any women's basketball player. This meant that all seniors in 2020–21 had the option to return in 2021–22.
