The Big 12 Conference women's soccer tournament is the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Big 12 Conference. The 11-match tournament would be held at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, for the 2024 and 2025 season. It also would expand to twelve teams with the addition of Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah.[1][2] Former conference members Nebraska Cornhuskers and Texas A&M Aggies share the record for most tournament championships: 5. The most recent champions are Texas after winning the 2023 tournament. In 1996, the inaugural conference tournament was held at World Wide Technology Soccer Park in St. Louis. Blossom Athletic Center in San Antonio, Texas held the tournament from 1997 to 2012 and Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City held the tournament from 2013 to 2019.

The 12-team single-elimination tournament consists of the top four seeds receiving a bye into the quarterfinals and seeds five through twelve playing in a bracket style tournament.[3]
