The 2026 Big 12 Women's Basketball Tournament was a postseason women's basketball tournament for the Big 12 Conference, played from March 4–8, 2026, at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri.

No. 2 West Virginia defeated defending champions No. 1 TCU 62–53 in the championship game, claiming their first Big 12 title since 2017, and earning the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. This was the first time in tournament history that a No. 2 seed took down a No. 1 seed in the title game.

The tournament was notably the first non-exhibition basketball competition in the United States to utilize a glass court; the court contained an LED display used to display the court design and markings, as well as animated graphics and video content.[1][2]

Teams were seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records. The top eight teams received a first round bye and the top four teams received a double bye, automatically advancing them into the quarterfinals.[3]
