ESPN’s College GameDay To Visit Kansas City For Phillips 66 Big 12 Men’s Basketball Tournament Championship Game

College GameDay travels to T-Mobile Center in Kansas City to preview the 2026 Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship on Saturday, March 14 (noon ET, ESPN). This is the show’s first visit to the Big 12 Tournament since 2006, while it marks the show’s first visit to the T-Mobile Center and the event’s championship game.
 
This marks the show’s fourth visit to a Conference game this season, tying the record for most visits to a single conference’s sites for the show. The Big 12 previously hosted GameDay four times in 2018.
 
Now in its 22nd season, College GameDay is hosted by Sports Emmy Award winner Rece Davis, alongside Curt Gowdy Media Award recipient Jay Bilas, two-time conference coach of the year Seth Greenberg and former national champion and two-time NABC Player of the Year Jay Williams. College sports insider Pete Thamel will contribute remotely.
 
Studio programming begins Friday from Kansas City with Davis, Williams and Greenberg on the desk. The Big 12 Championship tips off at 6 p.m. on ESPN, with Dan Shulman, Bilas and reporter Kris Budden on the call.
