T-Mobile Arena lost the Pac-12 Conference men’s basketball tourney when the Pac-12 was dissolved, but another conference is coming to the arena to stage its college basketball tournaments in 2027 and 2028.
The Big Ten Conference — now 18 teams strong with four former Pac-12 schools — announced Wednesday that it is staging the Women’s Basketball Tournament at T-Mobile Arena March 3-7, 2027 and the Men’s Basketball Tourney at T-Mobile Arena March 8-12, 2028.
College basketball’s Final Four will also be in Las Vegas in 2028 at Allegiant Stadium.
T-Mobile Arena is no stranger for new Big Ten/Former Pac-12 schools USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon. Those four colleges played Pac-12 conference hoops tourneys at T-Mobile Arena.
Las Vegas is already home to four college basketball tournaments. The Mountain West holds its conference tourney at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center, the West Coast and Western Athletic Conferences stage their tournaments at Orleans Arena and the Big West uses Lee’s Family Forum in Henderson for its year-end college hoops tourney.
