The NCAA on Wednesday selected Phoenix to host the 2026 Women's Final Four.
The national semifinals are set for Friday, April 3, 2026 at the home of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury in downtown Phoenix, with the national championship game tipping off on Sunday, April 5.
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.
