About Visit McKinney

McKinney is quickly becoming the destination for sporting events in the metroplex. Each year, thousands of people 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 at TPC Craig Ranch each May each year. No matter what your sporting event interest, Visit McKinney is here ready to assist you.
