It’s officially March, and we all know what that means — college basketball takeover. Before the Madness starts, the West Coast Conference women’s tournament will take place this week.
The WCC is looking to crown a 2026 champion, and unlike some conference tournaments, all 12 teams will get a chance to participate. Alongside the men’s programs, the competition will take place in Las Vegas over the course of a week.
Gonzaga and Portland have had particular recent successes in this tournament, but last year’s title went to Oregon State in its first year as part of the WCC. This year, Loyola Marymount has risen above the rest to snag the No. 1 seed, followed by Gonzaga and Santa Clara.
Who will shine the brightest in Las Vegas?
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2026 WCC women’s tournament, including TV channel and streaming options for each game.
