Women’s college basketball fans can’t get enough of the Iowa Hawkeyes. They are one of the best draws in the sport, both for ticket sales and for television ratings. That combination has landed the Hawkeyes in yet another headliner for the 2025 college basketball season.
Iowa will get an early season test in 2025 as they are going to be part of a loaded field of powerhouse programs in the Shark Beauty Women’s Champions Classic.
The Hawkeyes will be participating alongside some of the best programs in women’s basketball. The four participating programs include Iowa, the UConn Huskies, the Tennessee Volunteers, and the Louisville Cardinals.
“I am beyond excited and proud to once again be part of the Shark Beauty Women’s Champions Classic. This is a premier event showcasing some of the best women’s basketball programs in the country. It is a first-class experience that gives our players an early season NCAA Tournament feel. I am also looking forward to seeing our great Hawkeye fans show out in New York,” said Iowa women’s basketball head coach Jan Jensen about the Women’s Champions Classic.
The event is set to take place on FOX from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on December 20th. Iowa will get their shot at the UConn Huskies in a game that will feature two of the most rabid women’s college basketball fanbases in the nation.
