This Thanksgiving, basketball fans will have another reason to head to The Bahamas. Atlantis Paradise Island has unveiled the schedule for its inaugural Women’s Battle 4 Atlantis competition, a three-day showcase running Nov. 22–24 inside the resort’s Imperial Arena.

The announcement follows last month’s release of the men’s tournament bracket, cementing Atlantis as a premier stage for college basketball over the holiday week.

The women’s field brings together Penn State, Princeton, San Diego State, and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Across three days, fans will see championship-level coaching and the rising talent shaping the 2025–26 NCAA season. It’s a unique moment for women’s college hoops, with programs using the platform to spotlight growth, momentum, and the excitement of competition in one of the sport’s most distinctive settings.

Atlantis is pairing the showcase with new Battle 4 Atlantis room and ticket packages, including a flash sale offering up to 35 percent off accommodations for a limited time. The tournament builds on 14 years of Atlantis hosting men’s basketball, and this year the two events will bookend Thanksgiving week: the women’s competition first, followed by the men’s tournament Nov. 26–28. All games will air across ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU, bringing the drama of Paradise Island to a global audience.

Schedule:

• Nov. 22: Penn State vs. Princeton; UMES vs. San Diego State
• Nov. 23: Princeton vs. UMES
• Nov. 24: Penn State vs. San Diego State
