ESPN Events has announced the matchups, start times and networks for the fourth annual Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad, set for Jan. 9-10, 2027, at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. The premier early-season gymnastics event will feature eight of the nation’s top programs competing across two sessions televised on ESPN networks.
The opening session will air live on ABC on Saturday, Jan. 9, at 2 p.m. ET, featuring No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 2 LSU, No. 3 Florida and No. 5 UCLA. Action continues on Sunday, Jan. 10, at 1 p.m. on ESPN, with No. 6 Georgia, No. 10 Utah, No. 14 Clemson and No. 20 North Carolina competing in the second quad meet. Six of the top 10 from last season’s final rankings are represented across the two-day event, with the full field ranked in the top 20 to close out the 2025-26 season.
The 2027 field brings together one of the strongest collections of programs in collegiate gymnastics. Of the 44 National Collegiate Women’s Gymnastics Championships awarded since 1982, the field accounts for 37 of those national team titles, including 12 of the last 13. All Autonomous Four conferences are represented in the 2027 field.
The Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad has quickly established itself as one of the marquee events on the gymnastics calendar. Since its debut in 2024, the event has traveled to Utah and Oklahoma City while producing the three most-watched live regular-season collegiate gymnastics meets ever on ESPN networks. Greenville will become the fourth host city and first in the Southeast to welcome the event.
Tickets go on sale on Thursday, Oct. 22, and will be available for purchase per session/day. Gymnastics fans can sign up for pre-sale access via http://collegiatequad.com/tickets/.
Team Previews
- Oklahoma: Oklahoma begins its bid for a third consecutive NCAA championship after defeating LSU, Florida and Minnesota in the 2026 final for the program’s eighth national title. Senior Keira Wells, the reigning NCAA vault champion, headlines a roster that will look to maintain the Sooners’ championship standard following Faith Torrez’s 2026 NCAA all-around title.
- LSU: LSU enters 2027 looking to finish one step higher after placing second nationally with a 198.0750, just 0.0875 behind Oklahoma. Kailin Chio, who scored a perfect 10 on vault in the NCAA final, leads a deep roster that also includes Konnor McClain and transfers Jordyn Lyden, Ariel Posen and Skyelar Kerico.
- Florida: Florida returns from a third-place finish at the NCAA Championship with another roster capable of contending for the title. Kayla DiCello and Skye Blakely are among the key returning all-arounders as the Gators look to build on a 2026 postseason run that included the SEC Gymnastics Championship over the Sooners and Tigers, as well as delivering the top score in the first NCAA semifinal.
- UCLA: UCLA’s 2026 season ended with a third-place finish in its NCAA semifinal, despite Jordan Chiles claiming the individual floor title. With Chiles moving into a student-coach role, the Bruins begin a new chapter around returners Katelyn Rosen, Macy McGowan and Tiana Sumanasekera, along with a highly regarded freshman class featuring U.S. National Team member Zoey Molomo and Mexican National Team member Michelle Pineda.
- Georgia: Georgia’s resurgence produced its first NCAA semifinal appearance since 2019 and a sixth-place national finish, the program’s best since 2016. Lily Smith, Nyla Aquino, CaMarah Williams and Autumn Reingold provide a strong returning core, while Olympian and Arkansas transfer Joscelyn Roberson adds another major storyline for the GymDogs.
- Utah: Utah won the 2026 Big 12 Championship and welcome back Big 12 Gymnast of the Year Avery Neff and seven-time All-American Ella Zirbes in 2027, with Neff returning after placing seventh in the all-around and fourth on floor at the NCAA Championships.
- Clemson: Clemson enters 2027 as the defending ACC Champion after capturing its first conference title with a dramatic final-rotation rally on bars. Lilly Lippeatt, Quinn Kuhl, Emma Malewski and Hannah Clark helped produce four 9.900s in that decisive rotation, while the Tigers later placed third in the Baton Rouge Regional final with a 197.150.
- North Carolina: The Tar Heels enter 2027 with a reworked roster featuring returners Hannah Aoki, Regan McBride, Jessica Naranjo, Molly Neinstein and Sydney Seabrooks as they look to turn continued NCAA postseason experience into a move up the ACC standings.
