Kentucky Gymnastics Invited to 2026 Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Kentucky gymnastics program will participate in the 2026 Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad, marking the second consecutive season in which the Wildcats have featured in ESPN’s signature regular season gymnastics event. The event will feature eight teams competing in two quad meets on January 10, 2026 at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah, just outside of Salt Lake City.
Kentucky will be joined in the event by Cal, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma, UCLA, and Utah. Full details regarding matchups, times, and TV designations will be announced at a later date.
The Maverik Center hosted the inaugural Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad, and the event rotated to Oklahoma City last year. The first two years of the event have scored the two most-watched live, regular season collegiate gymnastics meets ever on ESPN platforms.
The Wildcats opened their 2025 campaign at the second annual Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad in January, placing second in Session III against UCLA, Arkansas, and Ohio State inside the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City.
“We are thrilled to return to Utah for the third annual Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad,” said ESPN Events director Kristen Shaver. “To have all eight teams make a postseason appearance with five advancing to the National Championship speaks volumes to the stature of this early season event. We believe strongly in the power of women’s sports and are committed to furthering the growth of gymnastics. We couldn’t be more pleased to have Sprouts Farmers Market share in that vision.”
“Sprouts is on a mission to empower women both on and off the mat, whether it’s fueling performance through nutrition or partnering with organizations who are changing the game in women’s sports,” said Nick Konat, president and chief operating officer of Sprouts. “We are proud to continue our support of the Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad and reaffirm our ongoing commitment to elevating women’s college athletics.”
