McKinney: A Growing Sports Destination 

McKinney is quickly becoming the destination for sporting events in the metroplex. Each year, thousands of visitors come to town to participate in or cheer for a wide range of sporting events. Watch high school or collegiate football games at the McKinney ISD Stadium & Community Event Center. Cheer for your favorite lacrosse, soccer, baseball, or softball youth or adult game at various facilities around town. Or meet at The Courts Tennis Facility for a game of tennis or even a pickleball tournament. And of course, enjoy some time on the greens of a local public course or watch the pros at THE CJ Cup Byron Nelson in May each year. No matter your sporting event interests, Visit McKinney is ready to assist you in finding the facility and hotel(s) that meet your needs.

As the operator of more than 20 soccer tournaments and five leagues, our team always looks forward to hosting events in the City of McKinney. This past year, we partnered with the City to host an international, girls-only soccer tournament—a five-day event that brought teams from across the U.S. together with competitors from Canada, Colombia, Denmark, France, Mexico, and The Netherlands. Working with the City’s Parks & Recreation Department and Visit McKinney staff was instrumental in the event’s success. From outstanding staff support to top-notch facilities, we truly value every opportunity to work with McKinney.
