TEMPE, Ariz. -- Phoenix has been named the host of the 2026 Women's Final Four, the NCAA announced Wednesday. ASU will serve as the host institution.
Phoenix won the right to host in a competitive bid process that included three other finalists to host the 2025 and 2026 Women's Final Fours. It will mark the first time that Phoenix has hosted the nation's top collegiate women's basketball championship, which has not been staged in the West since 2012.
"This is a landmark day for ASU," said Ray Anderson, ASU Vice President for University Athletics and PLOC co-chair.
