New Face, New Place
One Pac-12 women’s basketball program enters the 2026-27 season with a new head coach at the helm: Texas State, who is led by Chris Kielsmeier.
Kielsmeier joined the Bobcats’ program following a decorated eight-year tenure at Cleveland State. In his eight seasons in charge, the Vikings reached the postseason six times, with four seasons that saw Cleveland State win 26 or more games. Over his last five years, Kielsmeier amassed a total of 133 wins.
Fan-First Approach
With the return of Pac-12 women’s basketball, the conference is putting fans at the center of its approach to women’s basketball, delivering access to games across through its partnerships with CW Sports and USA Sports.
The Pac-12’s regular-season broadcast lineup includes:
The CW: 15 games*
USA Network: 5 games
*All 15 games are also available for streaming via CW Sports on The ESPN App with an ESPN Unlimited subscription.
The schedule will provide national exposure for all nine programs while offering fans free streaming access to games not selected for national television.
The 2027 Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Tournament will also have both semifinals and championship game air nationally on The CW, providing a national platform for the conference’s postseason competition.
The tournament’s broadcast plan continues the Pac-12’s fan-first approach, pairing free streaming access to the opening rounds with national television coverage for the final stages of the championship with the semifinal and title-game matchups.
Pac-12 Basketball Tournaments Return to Las Vegas
In partnership with MGM Resorts and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), the Pac-12 announced today details for its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, returning to Las Vegas and the MGM Grand Garden Arena for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons.
Set to tip off on Tuesday, March 9, 2027, both men’s and women’s postseason events will take place on the same days as part of two eight-game tournaments held over five days.
All nine teams for both sports will participate in the tournaments, beginning with a play-in game on the first day between the lowest two seeds, as set by regular season performance and any necessary tiebreakers. The tournaments will continue on day two with the first round featuring two games for both the men’s and women’s tournaments, followed by the quarterfinals, semifinals and championship rounds. Formats for both tournaments will see the two highest seeds receive a double-bye into the semifinal round and the third- and fourth-highest seeds a bye into the quarterfinal round.
For each day and round, the women’s tournament games will take place ahead of the men’s, all at MGM Grand.
