Big 12 To Debut Full LED Glass Court at 2026 Kansas City Tournaments

The installation marks the first official U.S. use of ASB’s video floor.

Overview

  • The women’s event opens March 4 and the men’s runs March 10–14 at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City.
  • The integrated LEDs can swap designs in real time, display shot charts and post-play animations, run interactive timeout games, and support live branding.
  • ASB says the spring-action aluminum and steel substructure with a ceramic-coated, etched-glass surface mirrors hardwood performance and prioritizes player safety.
  • The floor has appeared at NBA All-Star 2024 and in EuroLeague and FIBA competitions, with Big 12 coaches including Bill Self and Nicki Collen voicing support after test runs.
  • Officials have not specified whether visuals will change during live play, leaving potential on-court and broadcast effects to be evaluated during the tournaments.
