Four returning teams and four new teams will be coming to the Valley, where they’ll participate in the second Fiesta Bowl Flag Football Classic.

The tournament debuted last year as the only national collegiate women’s flag football tournament, and it will be held at the Arizona Athletic Grounds in Mesa from April 10-11, 2027.

The schools returning are headlined by the defending champion UCF Knights, who defeated the Florida Gators 19-7 in the nationally televised championship game.

Florida is also returning, along with the Arizona State Sun Devils and the Georgia Bulldogs.

The teams that will be competing in the tournament for the first time are the Nebraska Cornhuskers, University of Texas at Arlington Mavericks, Cal Poly Mustangs and Eastern Michigan Eagles.
