February 24, 2026

PHOENIX, Ariz. (Feb. 24, 2026) – The 2026 Women’s College All-Star Game will once again grace National Championship weekend on April 4 at Global Credit Union Arena on the campus of Grand Canyon University. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN2 at 11 a.m. MST.

Presale tickets will be available Wednesday, with seats becoming available to the general public on Thursday. Fans can register for the official presale and purchase tickets at https://womenscollegeallstar.com/tickets/.

The Women’s College All-Star Game celebrates the season’s biggest stars one final time, with a watch list for the contest being announced in the coming weeks. As these student-athletes, who have exhausted their eligibility and are on the verge of being selected in the WNBA Draft, gather for championship weekend, they also receive a one last chance to represent their schools and be honored for their outstanding careers.

Local and national brands have aligned themselves with the event including Grand Canyon University, Skechers, Under Armour, E*TRADE and Gila River Resorts & Casinos.

Last April, dozens of college basketball’s top senior standouts converged in Tampa for the Women’s College All-Star Game and inaugural Women’s College All-Star Combine. There, four All-Americans, six WNBA Draft Picks, five WNBA free agent signees, and over 18 all-conference honorees graced the court in front of a sold-out crowd.

The six selections from last year up the all-time draft pick total to 10, after four players were selected in the 2024 WNBA draft as well. Additionally, 2025 combine participant Jordan Hobbs was also selected in the 2025 draft, while one player in 2024 and 2025 inked free agent deals in the league.

Intersport launched the inaugural Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Star Challenge in 1998, which the WBCA operated through 2006. The Chicago-based agency was also a longstanding partner with the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame and ESPN to stage the prestigious Women’s Tip-Off Classic that annually featured the sport’s top programs in high-profile matchups as part of ESPN’s early season programming. Today, Intersport continues to operate major men’s and women’s college basketball events throughout the season, including the CBS Sports Classic, the Elevance Health Women’s Fort Myers Tip-Off, Skechers Greenbrier Tip-Off and other major showcase events that will be broadcast across CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, FS1 and more.
