\"NCAA<\/a>\"\"<\/a>For the fourth time in its history, the NCAA conducted a comprehensive site selection process, putting most of its championships up for bid simultaneously.<\/p>\n

The association chose over 240 host sites for preliminary and final rounds of predetermined championships across Divisions I, II and III, primarily for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons. This cycle marked a shift from a four-year to a two-year site selection process.<\/p>\n

For men’s hockey, the men’s Frozen Four will be held in Washington DC in 2027 and Chicago in 2028. For the women, the Frozen Four is set for Duluth, Minn, in 2027 and Fairfield, Conn., in 2028.<\/p>\n

The NCAA received more than 1,200 bids from member schools, conferences, cities and sports commissions across 47 states and Washington, D.C., all competing to host predetermined rounds for 87 of the NCAA\u2019s 90 championships. The respective NCAA sports committees selected the sites, with final approval from the divisional competition oversight and championships committees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe enthusiasm and interest from around the country to host NCAA championships continues to be a testament to the quality of our events,\u201d said Lynda Tealer, NCAA senior vice president of championships, in a statement. \u201cFor this cycle, we incorporated more data into the process to help our sport and oversight committees through the evaluation and selection of sites as we had so many quality venues and locations looking to host during these two seasons.<\/p>\n

“We will continue to evaluate and gather feedback on going from the traditional four-year cycle to awarding championship bids for two years to determine the right cadence for the bid process in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
