Big 12 Unveils New Glassfloor For 2026 Basketball Tournaments

SALT LAKE CITY – The Big 12 Conference is rolling out a new court for the 2026 conference tournaments in Kansas City.

On Wednesday, the league unveiled a state-of-the-art, full-LED video sports floor that will be used in the men’s and women’s tournaments next month.

The floor is from ASB GlassFloor and it marks the first time that the court will be used for official competition in the United States.

Last week, Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark teased that an enhancement to the Big 12 Tournament would be announced, and it’s this new floor.

The ASB GlassFloor was used in the 2024 NBA All-Star Game and in the EuroLeague, as well as in FIBA-sanctioned competitions.

“Our goal at the Big 12 is simple: keep raising the bar,” said Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark. “Elevating our league’s profile and adding real value to our programs requires a willingness to push boundaries.

“Last year, the introduction of the XII pattern on our tournament court did exactly that, and this year we’re taking the next step with ASB GlassFloor. This technology represents the future and bringing it to our basketball tournaments reinforces our commitment to innovation, positioning the Big 12 as a different league and national leader in elevating the game.”

The court will be unveiled on March 4 for the start of the Women’s Tournament in Kansas City. During games played in each of the men’s and women’s tournaments, visual effects displayed on the court could include:

  • Dynamic court designs
  • Shot charts
  • Interactive games for fans during timeouts
  • Immersive animations following key plays and moments

Both the men’s and women’s tournaments feature all 16 member institutions in the league, with the games played at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City.

The Women’s Tournament will be played from March 4-8/9 (if BYU reaches the Championship Round, the title game will move to Monday, March 9), and the Men’s Tournament will take place from March 10-14.
