First-Class Women's Slate on FOX:
In the aftermath of a record-setting regular season of women's college basketball in broadcast television in 2023-24, FOX Sports looks to capture that recent momentum by promoting women's sports on a regular basis with the beginning of two new women's college hoops showcases and a massive of highly anticipated games on the FOX broadcast network.
To begin with, the Women's Champions Classic, a primetime doubleheader featuring some of the nation's leading women's college basketball programs with No. 2 Connecticut, No. 25 Louisville, Iowa and Tennessee competing on Saturday, December 7 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The competition tips off with Tennessee vs. Iowa at 7:00 PM ET followed by Louisville vs. Connecticut at 9:30 PM ET, with both games on FOX.
Additionally, the Coretta Scott King Classic, a showcase designed to honor the memory of the late author, activist, and wife of the late great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., gives us an opportunity to feature four highly respected women's college basketball programs in a doubleheader on Monday, January 20, 2025, which is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Airing on FOX, UCLA takes on No. 18 Baylor at 3:00 PM ET while No. 4 Texas takes on No. 11 Maryland at 5:30 PM ET from the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
