Women's Hoops Returns To Kansas City From 2020-24

AMES, Iowa – The Big 12 Conference announced that the Phillips 66 Women's Basketball Tournament will return to Kansas City from 2021-24 after reaching a new agreement. Last season it was announced the tournament would return to Kansas City for 2020, but the new agreement extends the stay through 2024.

"I was thrilled to hear that the Big 12 tournament will return to Kansas City in 2020, head coach Bill Fennelly said. "I know this is exciting for our amazing fans as they will get to enjoy a week of Big 12 basketball that will feature both the men's and women's teams. I know KC will do a great job of putting on the premier postseason tournament in the country which will provide a great experience for the student-athletes and fans."

Municipal Auditorium has hosted the Phillips 66 Women's Championship each year that it has been played in Kansas City and will continue to do so through the term of the new agreement. Since the Big 12 women last played in Municipal Auditorium, it has undergone $5 million in renovations to include new video boards, LED scorer's table, sound system, lighting, electrical upgrades and lower level seating.

This season's Big 12 tournament will take place in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, before returning to Kansas City for the next five seasons.
