The Fort Worth Sports Commission enhances the image, economy and quality of life for the community through the power of sports. We pursue high-profile events that bring national exposure to Fort Worth while driving thousands of athletes, coaches and fans to our great city.
Unprecedented growth over the past four years has produced a 39% average increase in contracted rooms, estimated room nights and projected economic impact. Looking ahead, we are preparing for an incredible line-up of events in 2026 including: ACES, NCAA Women’s Basketball, USA Karate, FEI World Cup, NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championship, Esports tournaments, and three winter cheerleading championships produced by Varsity. Fort Worth will also host a team base camp during FIFA World Cup, with nine games in Arlington nearby.
The Fort Worth Sports Commission is dedicated to leveraging the sporting events we bring to town to leave a lasting legacy in the community we serve. We’ve partnered with the NCAA Readers Become Leaders program and the Fort Worth ISD around the NCAA National Women’s Gymnastics Collegiate Championship. In five years, the program has seen more than 92,000 students read more than 101 million minutes. Last year alone, we had 78 schools, 38,636 students and 71,306,182 minutes read! The program is back again this year and the incentives and benefits to the students and participating schools has never been better.

Fort Worth is a city all its own with unique charm, culture, and incredible hospitality. People really do make the place and through our incredible volunteers helping showcase our wonderful city, we can deliver a championship experience unlike any other.
