COLUMBUS, Ohio – The NCAA announced that Columbus is one of four finalists for the 2025 or 2026 Women’s Final Four bid.
Columbus is a finalist along with Tampa, Phoenix and Portland.
“We are thrilled Columbus has been selected as a finalist to host the NCAA Women’s Final Four in either 2025 or 2026,” said Linda Shetina Logan, executive director, Greater Columbus Sports Commission. “When Columbus played host to the 2018 NCAA Women’s Final Four, it united our community in a meaningful way and provided opportunities to introduce thousands of people – whether players, coaches, fans or those watching on TV – to our great city. We look forward to continuing to work with the NCAA on the bid process and are excited about another opportunity to host these amazing student-athletes and women’s basketball fans in Columbus.”
Columbus must submit a final bid by April 13. The sites for 2025 and 2026 will be announced in October.
