How do you attend the Women’s Final Four?

The Women’s Final Four is the national semifinals and championship of women’s college basketball, played April 2 and 4, 2027 at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.

Nationwide Arena, Columbus

The women's game at its peak

The Women's Final Four is the national semifinals and championship of women's college basketball, in Columbus, Ohio, on April 2 and 4, 2027, and it has become one of the hottest tickets in sports.

Women's college basketball has exploded, and the Final Four is the crown of it: two national semifinals on Friday, then the championship on Sunday, in front of sold-out arenas and a television audience that now rivals the men's. Columbus is a compact, walkable host city that does big events well.

As with the men's tournament, the four teams are not set until the regional finals, so the smart move is to lock the trip early and let the matchups fall into place.

Planning

What to know before you go

You book before the teams are set

The four teams are not decided until the regional finals in late March, but the date and the city are fixed. Lock the hotel and a strip now, and the matchups fall into place, rather than scrambling once the field is known.

Confirmed as of July 2026.

Columbus is easy

When to book

Early. Women's basketball demand has surged and the Final Four now sells fast. The earlier the hotel and the strip are locked, the better the seats and the price.

How does payment and the deposit work?

You reserve your package with a per-person deposit and pay the balance on a set schedule, with final payment typically due 60 days before departure. Deposits and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable, so we recommend travel insurance to protect what you pay. Your booking is transacted by a licensed tour operator whose full written terms govern your trip, and no payment is taken through this website. The full terms are on our legal and disclosures page.

Can you plan a trip for one person or a couple?

Yes. Package prices are quoted per person and depend on how many people share a room, so solo travelers and couples are quoted accordingly. Tell us your group and we will price it honestly.

Can you handle a large group?

Yes. We handle private groups, typically parties of eight or more, with dedicated coordination for the tickets, hotel, and logistics so everyone travels together smoothly.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Deposits and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable, and event tickets and hotel-only reservations are final once booked. If you cancel, any amount already paid cannot be refunded, which is why we strongly recommend travel insurance. If an event is postponed or cancelled, you receive updated tickets or a credit only to the extent the ticket or hotel vendor refunds the operator. The full terms are on our legal and disclosures page and are provided to you in writing before you book.
