Kansas City Selected to Host Three NCAA Championship Events

Mark your calendars, Kansas City! Downtown’s T-Mobile Center will be the host site of three NCAA events between 2023 and 2025. First up, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Regional Championship, Sweet 16 and Elite 8, will take place in March of 2023, while the NCAA DI wrestling championship will be in town in March of 2024 and the DI women’s volleyball championship in December of 2025.

“This is certainly a bright spot in what has been a challenging year for everyone,” Kathy Nelson, President & CEO of the Kansas City Sports Commission & Foundation said in a press release. “Kansas City offers unparalleled hospitality and we consistently deliver the highest quality experience for the student-athletes, coaches and fans that travel to our city to participate in these championships. They help solidify Kansas City’s reputation as one of the best sports cities in the U.S., while generating significant economic impact and raising the visibility of our region.”

This is great news for both Kansas City’s reputation of being a great sports town and for the local economy. It’s estimated that these championships will bring in around $35.6 million.
