Four of the best women’s college basketball teams—in one primetime doubleheader.
THE CLASSIC
The Shark Beauty™ Women’s Champions Classic is the premier early-season college basketball doubleheader celebrating the growth in women’s sports and college basketball, created by HS&E and FOX. Featuring some of the game’s most storied women’s programs, it can only happen at the
biggest stage in basketball: New York City. The inaugural Classic kicks off in a primetime
doubleheader on the FOX broadcast network on Saturday, December 7, 2024.
THE TIME IS NOW
The past year has proven to be an unprecedented time for growth in women’s sports—and particularly women’s basketball. HS&E and FOX saw a void in early-season tournaments for the women’s game, so they created the Shark Beauty™ Women’s Champions Classic. And they invited four of the most storied programs for the inaugural doubleheader.
