The NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Committee has revised the schedule for the 2027 Women’s Frozen Four, moving the semifinals to March 21 and the championship game to March 23, both to be televised on ESPN’s linear network.
Why the Change Matters
The adjustment aligns all three games with ESPN’s prime‑time slots, a move intended to broaden exposure for the sport and attract new fans.
Brittany Kane, who chairs the committee, said the decision was reached together with the University of Minnesota Duluth and ESPN, emphasizing a shared commitment to the growth of women’s ice hockey.
The championship will be held at the AMSOIL Arena in Duluth, Minnesota, a venue praised for its state‑of‑the‑art facilities and enthusiastic community.
Organizers expressed gratitude to Minnesota Duluth for its dedication to delivering a premier experience for athletes and spectators alike.
