The Billie Jean King Cup in McKinney!

The City of McKinney and Visit McKinney are honored to offer a supportive home base to top women’s players from Ukraine for the upcoming Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Play-off on Nov. 16-17. Due to Ukraine’s ongoing challenges, this year’s match between Ukraine and Austria will be held at The Courts of McKinney at Gabe Nesbitt Park, providing a welcoming home court for Ukraine’s top players.

“McKinney has always been a community that values hospitality and coming together to support one another,” said Mayor George Fuller. “While Ukraine is dealing with a terrible war that prevents the team from playing on their home courts, McKinney proudly steps in as a surrogate host. We know our community will provide an environment where the Ukrainian team can feel uplifted by our residents and sports fans.”

The competition will be a best-of-five match series and one of eight held worldwide in November. The winners will advance to the Billie Jean King Cup Qualifier by Gainbridge next April.
