“The Missouri Valley Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament and Hoops in the Heartland continues to be a privilege to host,” said Dave Herrell, President and CEO, Visit Quad Cities. “Hosting these student-athlete leaders and championship event brings a significant amount of value to our regional destination and programs the Vibrant Arena at The MARK in a meaningful way. We look forward to MVC member institutions and their respective fan bases experiencing all the Quad Cities has to offer and demonstrating why the QC is the premier host community for the MVC.

The 2024 tournament will mark the 17th-consecutive season in its 42-year history that the event will take place at a neutral site.

The Valley is the only Division I stand-alone women’s basketball event to be held in the same city nine or more consecutive years.  The 2024 MVC Women’s Basketball Tournament title game on Sunday, March 17, will be aired on ESPNU for the third consecutive season. The first 10 tournament contests will be shown exclusively on ESPN+.
